The Federal Maritime Commission is granting ocean carriers special permission to immediately hike rates on containers that are being rerouted around the southern cape of Africa, in response to concerns over possible Houthi rebel attacks on usual routes through the Red Sea.
Detention and demurrage
Demurrage is the time that filled containers spend inside a terminal when imported into the U.S. This is measured from the time they are offloaded from the vessel until the time they are picked up at the port. Detention is the time that containers spend outside the terminal. This is measured from the time between picking the containers up from the port and returning them to the port when they are empty. Demurrage and detention penalty charges will be incurred if an importer does not pick up the filled container or drop off the empty container in the time allotted by the port or carrier. The Federal Maritime Commission regulates detention and demurrage charges in the ocean environment.
