Demurrage fees are charged when import containers are still full and under the control of the shipping line.
Detention occurs when the consignee holds onto the carrier's container outside of the port, terminal, or depot beyond the free time that is allotted.
What Are Demurrage and Detention Fees?
When Importing:
Demurrage charges occur when cargo is left in possession of the terminal for longer than the agreed-upon free time. Simply put, these charges start to tack on to your final cost if you do not pick up your container in time.
When import containers have been pulled off the terminal or port and are not returned empty to the designated terminal within the predetermined amount of free time, then you will be subject to Detention fees.
When Exporting:
When shipping out cargo, you must provide the necessary, accurate shipping documents. If something holds up your goods at the export terminal, you may be subject to Demurrage fees.
Similar to import demurrage costs, Detention fees are applied to outgoing shipments when a customer fails to drop off their container at the steamship line or shipping port within the allocated free time frame.
