What is Demurrage?

Demurrage is determined by calculating the amount of time between the discharge of equipment from a vessel and its removal from the carrier's terminal. During this period, carriers provide a standard period of free-time for customers to remove containers from the terminal without incurring charges.

CCS scans the records of shipments not removed from terminals within the prescribed free-time and performs an evaluation to determine whether invoicing is required. Shipments without exceptions are invoiced by CCS and A/R procedures initiated.
