Detention & Demurrage
Detention refers to charges for holding a truck or container beyond the agreed free time at pickup or delivery. Demurrage applies when containers stay too long at ports or terminals, incurring daily penalties.
Why it Matters: Both costs are frequent pain points in international and domestic logistics. They signal bottlenecks in planning, customs, or warehouse processes. Monitoring and managing detention/demurrage helps companies avoid unnecessary penalties and keep freight budgets under control.
