Prevent Avoidable Demurrage and Detention Fees with IronLink’s Port Drayage Experience
Shipping lines typically own or lease containers and can charge multiple fees after three to seven days of “free time” elapse. The free time and fees can vary widely. Link up with a partner who helps avoid these penalties.
- Demurrage: a “rent” you pay for a container inside a port beyond the free time allowed for unloading and returning a container.
- Detention fees: a charge you pay for the use of the container outside the port, beyond the free time period.
