Demurrage & Detention - General Terms
“Combined Demurrage & Detention” (also called merged D&D): is the charge related to the use of equipment only, the Merchant pays for carrier’s equipment kept beyond the free time offered by the Carrier, when Demurrage and Detention is combined into one single period.
“Free time”: the period of time offered by the Carrier to the Merchant free of charge, covering both demurrage period and detention period, beyond which additional charges such as, but not limited to demurrage and detention charges, will be due to the Carrier. In case of booking cancellation, no free time is applicable and LARA DDSM will automatically setup the FREE TIME at ZERO (0) and DETENTION charge will be invoiced.
“Storage Costs”: those costs related but not limited to quay rent, charged to both Carrier's equipment and shipper's equipment for containers staying on ground.
“Reefer Services”: these services such as Power supply and Monitoring.
“Carrier” means the Party on whose behalf the Bill of Lading is issued.
“Merchant” includes the Shipper, Holder, Consignee, Receiver of the Goods, or any Person owning or entitled to the possession of the Goods or of the Bill of Lading or anyone acting on behalf of any such Persons.
Demurrage and Detention and D&D Merged do not include storage costs and reefer services which are charged to the Merchant separately unless duly indicated in the published general tariff of the country.
Merged Demurrage & Detention Time (merged D&D)
For import cargo, the merged D&D time is the duration elapsed as from “discharge” of the vessel of the full container till “return” of the empty equipment to the designated terminal or depot. Both days (Discharge & Return) are counted.
For export cargo, the merged D&D time is the duration elapsed as from “pick-up” of the empty equipment till CY Cut-Off (the latest time to gate in the container provided on Booking Confirmation). Both days (Pick-up & CY Cut-Off) are counted. Each day or part thereof is due in full. The first chargeable day is the first day following the last day of free time.
Equipment release date
The earliest date when a container can be picked up from the instructed depot/terminal. This date is different than D&D tariff and provided on Booking Confirmation.
CY Cut-Off date, Terminal Opening
For export D&D purposes, the CY cut-off date is fixed 14 days before the published ETD. This means that D&d ,storage and reefer monitoring costs arising due to vessel delays occurring after that point , will NOT be borne by the customer.
However please note that terminal opening date is not fixed and can still be modified up to the day before opening.
