Going forward, customers in New Caledonia will be offered Combined Demurrage & Detention for import shipments. This means you will have one combined free time period and compensation for utilisation of equipment inside and outside of terminals or depots, referred to as Combined Demurrage & Detention Import.

Demurrage : Compensation incurred by customer for utilising equipment beyond the given free time inside the terminal.

Detention : Compensation incurred by customer for utilising equipment beyond the given free time outside the terminal.
