Container Demurrage Planning
Demurrage planning for container availability, LFD pressure, pickup timing, and delivery readiness. Demurrage risk usually starts with container availability, LFD, pickup appointment access, or a delay before the box leaves the facility.
Availability, LFD, and terminal records
Send facility, container number, availability, LFD, pickup appointment status, receiver timing, and any pre-pull option.
Evidence of facility time
Keep availability notices, LFD, release records, pickup appointments, facility messages, and the responsible shipment terms.
Facility demurrage versus receiver detention
Demurrage is tied to container time at the marine terminal or rail ramp. It is not the same as driver waiting at a receiver.
How demurrage exposure is checked
Demurrage exposure is checked against facility records, container availability, LFD, pickup access, and the party responsible under the shipment terms.
LFD, pickup, and demurrage records
Keep availability, LFD, release, appointment, and terminal or rail-facility records together.
Send the demurrage timing records
Include container availability, LFD, release status, pickup appointment, facility records, and responsible party.
