Dear Customer,

We would like to inform you that with effect from 1st December 2018, all import and export shipments to and from UAE where detention has incurred at origin and/or destination will be subject to the following container detention rate applicability after the agreed free time in the service contract.

For Customers who have an agreed extended detention container free time at origin and/or destination, the subsequent charges beyond free time with additional detention days will be applied as per OOCL tariff tier rate. This means that the additional detention charges beyond extended free time will not automatically be calculated and chargeable from the tariff's 1st tier, rather from the applicable tier reached when including the extended detention container free time.

For example:

For Import general container booking with 14 days extended detention free time, upon the expiry of 14^th day, the 15^th day would be chargeable at the same rate applied in the OOCL published tariff based on the 15^th day count of the standard tariff charge tier. As per below screen shot it will be in the 2^nd tier structure,
