“19.1 The Carrier may at any time and without notice to the Merchant: (a) use any means of transport or storage; (b) transfer the Goods from one conveyance to another including transhipping or carrying the same on a Vessel other than the Vessel named on the reverse hereof or by any other means of transport whatsoever and even though transhipment or forwarding of the Goods may not have been contemplated or provided; “19.2 The liberties set out in clause 19.1 may be invoked by the Carrier for any purpose whatsoever whether or not connected with the Carriage of the Goods. Anything done or not done in accordance with clause 19.1 or any delay arising therefore shall be deemed to be within the contractual Carriage and shall not be a deviation. “20.1 Matters affecting performance. If at any time Carriage is or is BoL clauses likely to be affected by any hindrance, risk, danger, delay, of whatsoever kind and howsoever arising which cannot be avoided by the exercise of reasonable endeavours, (even though the circumstances giving rise to such hindrance existed at the time this contract was entered into or the Goods were received for Carriage) the Carrier may at his sole discretion and without notice to the Merchant and whether or not the Carriage is commenced either: (a) Carry the Goods to the contracted Port of Discharge or Place of Delivery, whichever is applicable, by an alternative route to that indicated in this TD or that which is usual for Goods consigned to that Port of Discharge or Place of Delivery. If the Carrier elects to invoke the terms of this clause 20(a) then, notwithstanding the provisions of clause 19 hereof, he shall be entitled to charge such additional Freight as the Carrier may determine.”
