How Does Demurrage & Detention Monitoring Work ?

Shipsgo helps you monitor container free time and estimate potential demurrage and detention charges using your shipment data and your own rules.

1.Track Containers

Add your shipments to Shipsgo to monitor their movements and key milestones.

2.Apply Your Rules

Define your rules based on carrier, country, import or export direction, charge type, container equipment, free time, and daily rates.

3.Monitor Free Time

Shipsgo uses your rules and tracking data to show which containers are within free time, approaching its end, or already incurring charges.

4.View Estimated Charges

See estimated costs based on the elapsed time beyond free time and the daily rates you defined.

How Are Charges Calculated ?

For example, if your rule allows 7 days of free time and charges $50 per day from day 8, a container that exceeds free time by 3 days will have an estimated charge of $150.

Important: Charges are estimated only for containers that match your rules. Make sure your rules reflect the free-time terms and rates applicable to your shipments.
