Right to carriage of part of a consignment

If only a part of the goods has been loaded, then the sender may require at any time that the carrier begin to carry the part of the goods that has already been loaded. In this case, the carrier will be entitled to the full freight and to demurrage, if any, as well as to reimbursement of any expenditures the carrier may have incurred due to a part of the goods being lacking; however, any freight for goods which the carrier transports with the same vehicle instead of the goods which had not been loaded is to be deducted from the full freight. In addition, the carrier will be entitled to demand further security to the extent that the lack of a part of the goods causes the carrier to lose security for the full freight. If the incompleteness of the load is due to reasons within the sphere of risks to be borne by the carrier, then the carrier will be entitled to the claim under sentences 2 and 3 only to the extent that goods actually are carried.
