Post freetime all days irrespective of whether a Sunday or Public holiday, are chargeable.
2. Start date of the calculation will be based on the actual container discharged day as communicated to us by the terminal.
3. Demurrage and Detention invoices from Maersk will be sent directly to you via email and are expected to be settled through payment to Hunt, Deltel and Co. ltd or settled directly into our bank accounts.

Containers taken outside the port area are subject to a deposit of:

SCR 20, 000 / TEU / Dry

For import containers, demurrage and/or freetime is calculated as from discharge date of containers in Victoria. While for export containers, same is calculated as from pick up date from port area.

Should a Container not be returned in the condition required and/or within the time prescribed in the Tariff, the Merchant shall be liable for any detention, loss or expense incurred as a result thereof.

Moreover, as per clause 15.5, containers released into the care of the Merchant for packing, unpacking or any other purpose whatsoever are the sole risk of the Merchant until redelivered to the Carrier. The Merchant shall indemnify the Carrier for all loss of and/or damage and/or delay to such Containers.
