A: Firstly, the goods will be calculated by the actual weight and the volumetric weight;

Actual weight of a carton = actual weight of one carton, total is multiplied by the number of cartons shipped.

Volumetric weight of a carton = LWH/ 5000, get integral, use centimeter to calculate (e.g. 19.1KGS, get 19.5KGS; 20.8KGS, get 21KGS). Total is multiplied by the numbers of carton;

Secondly, per above calculation, we can get the actual weight and the volumetric weight which is bigger. The bigger one will be the chargeable weight.

Thirdly, all goods arrive in warehouse, we will re-measure them to get the final chargeable weight, and then we will issue INVOICE to you.

A: Detention is the name of the charge which is applied by the carrier (shipping line) for using empty container more than allowed. Detention can be considered as a rent fee for empty container. Detention can be applied in Export and Import.

Detention in Export is counted when container has been picked up by Merchant (Shipper) from named depot and ends when container is gated in full at the named terminal. Usually shipping lines give 5 to 14 days free detention. Its very important to pay attention when booking with shipping line, otherwise you may find out of pocket surprise like Detention invoice.

A:There are two(2) types of ‘demurrage’ in shipping business:

1.Tramp shipping

– is when you hire (rent) a vessel for certain cargo or group of cargoes. Demurrage in this case is a charge payable to the owner of a chartered (rented) ship on failure to load or discharge the ship within the time agreed. In other words, its agreed charge (fine) for delay of the cargo readiness to load the vessel.

2.Liner shipping or container shipping

– Is when you booked a certain spot on a certain direction from a shipping line company to transport your goods in container from A to B. Demurrage in this case can be charged both sides – Port of Origin and Port of Destination – Demuurage in this case would be a fixed (per shipping line tariffs) or agreed (with shipping line sales) charge (read as ‘fine’) for keeping FULL container in port longer time compared to free time (agreed time or as per general free time policy of the shipping line).

Important!

Always check Demurrage and Detention terms and costs before making bookings with any shipping line.

Always check the possibilities to prolong Demurrage/Detention in case of need.

Always check Holidays! (Yes, its important!) Your container may arrive on time where there are government holidays and nobody works on those holidays.

Holidays are usually no excuse to provide you more free time.. (some shipping lines do, especially for Global Key customers )

Check the tariffs online if available.

Always ask for discounts in case your DMR is ‘Big’.

Demurrage cannot be applied to SOC (Shipper’s own container). Demurrage is charged for using Shipping Line equipment only! Never pay DMR for your own container
