What Is Demurrage & Detention Monitoring ?

Demurrage and detention charges can lead to unexpected costs when containers exceed their allowed free time. Keeping track of these deadlines is essential for managing shipments efficiently and avoiding additional expenses.

To simplify this process, ShipsGo introduces Demurrage & Detention Monitoring, a new feature that helps you monitor container free time and automatically estimate potential charges using your existing shipment tracking data.

By defining custom free time allowances and daily rates based on your carrier agreements, you can monitor containers approaching or exceeding their free time limits and gain better visibility into potential costs.

What Can You Do with This Feature ?

Monitor Container Free Time: Easily identify containers approaching or exceeding their allowed free time.

Create Custom Rules: Set free time allowances and daily rates based on your specific carrier agreements.

Estimate Potential Charges: Let ShipsGo automatically calculate estimated demurrage and detention costs using your tracking data and configured rules.

With Demurrage & Detention Monitoring, you can turn your existing ShipsGo tracking data into valuable cost insights, helping you make more informed decisions throughout your shipment journey.
