• NOR will be charged as DRY equipment

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 means 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 Papua New Guinea ports directly to customers.

Demurrage means compensation incurred by customer for utilising equipment beyond the given free time inside the terminal.
