Demurrage, though a common term in shipping, may be unfamiliar to many importers. In simple terms, demurrage refers to the charges incurred when containers holding your valuable cargo exceed the agreed-upon free time at the port or terminal. This occurs when you're unable to unload the cargo and return the containers within the designated timeframe. Understanding demurrage is crucial for optimizing your inbound supply chain.
Demurrage can have far-reaching consequences, affecting both your financial performance and operational efficiency. Financially, accumulating demurrage charges can lead to increased costs, impacting your profitability.
