- Demurrage = container rental inside the terminal + terminal storage.
- Detention = container rental outside the terminal.
- Calculations are based on calendar days, and the amount is per day.
- Non-operating reefers (NORs) are charged as DRY containers.
- Reefer demurrage includes plug-in/electricity charges.
- Shipper’s Own Containers (SOC) are not subject to detention.
Demurrage starts the same day as container is gated in (full). It ends the same day as container is loaded on the vessel.
Detention starts the same day as container is gated out (empty). It ends the same day as container is gated in (full).
