NOR will be charged as DRY equipment
Combined demurrage & detention will be invoiced as detention
Separation of storage : We will separate Storage from Demurrage. This allows a clear distinction of the compensation applied for utilising the port, terminal or depot facilities (Storage), and the compensation incurred for utilisation of equipment beyond the agreed free time days inside terminals or depots (Demurrage).
Storage : Compensation for utilising the port, terminal or depot or inland container yard facilities. Compensation for Storage related to use of Terminal or Depot facilities will be charged separately by New Caledonian ports directly to customers.
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.
