What Is Detention and Demurrage?

Detention charges are fees imposed when transportation equipment is ...

Detention charges are fees imposed when transportation equipment is detained at a location beyond the agreed-upon free time. Detention charges are meant to incentivize the timely loading or unloading of ...cargo. If the container is held for an extended period, it ties up equipment that could be used for other shipments.

Demurrage charges are incurred when transportation equipment is held at the port or terminal beyond the allotted free time for loading or unloading. Demurrage charges aim to encourage the prompt movement of cargo in and out of the port or terminal.

Descartes can help you minimize demurrage fees by providing greater control, transparency, and proactive decision-making capabilities before detention and demurrage charges occur. Our advanced technology can help logistics service providers dispute fees since the solution provides a clear record of when and where a container was returned.
