Our setup in Panama consists of two elements: Detention and Storage.
This means you will have separate free time and compensation terms for utilization of equipment outside (Detention) of terminals or depots.
Compensation for storage related to use of terminal or depot facilities will be charged separately.
Detention starts from gate-out empty (included) from depot, ends with gate-in full day (included) to terminal.
Effective January 1st, 2017 our tariff charges will be:
