* Documentation cut-off: Due to EU rule, cargo has to be manifested min 24 h prior to arrival into EU, this means that shipping instructions must be submitted latest 24 h before vessel ETA in Durres. If shipping instructions are not submitted in time, container will be removed from the load list.
Moving forward, as of 20th July our setup in Durres, Albania will consist of one single element: Combined Demurrage & Detention.
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.
Export - Combined demurrage and detention
Combined demurrage and detention starts from gate -out empty day (included), ends with loading day (included) to vessel.
