We are freight forwarders, we act as mediators between a shipper and transportation services which might include trucking, rail transport, ocean shipping, and expedited air freight. We work with several transport partners across multiple regions, countries and continents to ship merchandise.

Free time refers to the length of time, a container can be stored free of charge at the port, usually seven to fourteen days.
Yes, the length of the time can be extended upon request from a freight forwarder.
Port storage free time is extendable, depending on the shipping lines, however if the port storage “free time” has exceeded than the storage fees has to be paid.
Demurrage is a storage fee, that occurs after the length of Free Time has been exceeded, Demurrage prevents containers being stored at the port for a long time.
Detention is a length of the time allocated for collecting a container from a port, unloading the cargo and returning the empty container to the port.
Demurrage costs are agreed upon in advance between the ship-owners and the charterers. Usually they can be anywhere between $75 and $300 per cargo per day. Detention costs are calculated by taking the total number of days from the time the container left the port/terminal to be unpacked until it was returned. The number of free days is then subtracted, and the remaining number is multiplied by the “per diem”rate.
Once a booking is placed or confirmed, it cannot be cancelled as the standard cancelation fees may apply.
