Demurrage 13
Demurrage 13 : The detention of containers by shippers or receivers of freight beyond a specified grace period. In air freight, the airlines tender carrier owned containers to the customer for loading and unloading of the unit. In the event the container is not returned to the carrier within a specified time (usually 36-48 hours) a charge shall be assessed by the carrier for each 24-hour period or fraction thereof beyond the allowed time. Similar processes apply for motor, rail and ocean carriage. Detention means the same thing for motor carriers. Also the excess time taken for loading or unloading a vessel, thus causing delay of scheduled departure. Demurrage refers only to situations in which the charter or shipper, rather than the vessel's operator, is at fault
