Demurrage & Detention Free Time and Charges
Dear valued customers,
We would like to inform you about our new demurrage & detention methodology, touching the calculation of days and tiers
after the expiration of
extended freetime.
The new D&D rule will be effective with
rate date 1st October 2018, valid for
all shipments and all bounds, at origin and at destination.
Example
(extended freetime of total 8 calendar days, 15 calendar days container usage):
Standard Terms:
-
5 calendar days freetime as per tariff
-
day 6-10
(5 calendar days), EUR 50/container/day
(tier 1)
- thereafter >=
day 11
(5 calendar days), EUR 80/container/day
(tier 2)
Old rule with extended freetime:
-
8 calendar days extended freetime
-
day 9-13
(5 calendar days), EUR 50/container/day
(tier 1)
- thereafter
>= day 14
(2 calendar days),
EUR 80/container/day
(tier 2)
New rule with extended freetime:
-
8 calendar days extended freetime
-
day 9-10
(2 calendar days), EUR 50/container/day
(tier 1)
- thereafter
>= day 11
(5 calendar days),
EUR 80/container/day
(tier 2)
This means after expiry of extended freetimes, charges might be linked to respective higher tiers from the beginning of billable days.
Charges are for sampling only, please refer to OOCL - Combined Demurrage & Detention Free Time and Charges for current charges.
If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact your local sales representative.
Looking forward to your ongoing support of OOCL.
With best regards,
Your Team at OOCL Germany
