Export : Our setup in Thailand will be demurrage and detention.

This means you will have separate free time and compensation for utilisation of equipment inside (Demurrage) and outside (Detention) of terminals or depots including compensation for utilising the port, terminal or depot facilities.

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

The calculation would begin from the 1st day of Return Container at depot/terminal until the actual “Load” date of the container, there will a change from vessel ETD to Load.

Detention means compensation incurred by customer for utilising equipment beyond the given free time outside the terminal.

The calculation would begin from the 1st day of CY container until the 1st day of Return Container at depot/terminal.
