Demurrages are always charged to consignees who delay the return of the empty containers to the port terminal. When consignees arrange by themselves the road transportation of the containers to their warehouse, it is their responsibility to liaise with their hauliers for the timely return of the containers.

Maersk Cyprus Limited will undertake Road Transportation and Customs Clearance if requested.
