The Secret to Avoiding Demurrage and Detention Charges
denda demurrage

In the world of logistics and shipping, demurrage and detention are two terms that often cause concern among businesses. Though they may seem minor, these charges can quickly escalate and impact your operational costs significantly if not managed properly.

Fortunately, there’s a simple and effective solution: take advantage of the automatic notification feature in the mySPIL Reloaded app.

What Are Demurrage and Detention?

  • Demurrage refers to charges incurred when containers remain at the port beyond the allowed free time after unloading.
  • Detention is charged when containers are not returned to the depot within the allotted time after being picked up from the port.

Both are directly tied to how efficiently you manage your logistics timing and coordination.

Why Do These Charges Occur?

These fees typically arise due to:

  • Lack of awareness of the deadlines for container pick-up and return.
  • Absence of a timely reminder system.
  • Poor coordination between logistics, warehouse, and transport teams.

All of this can be avoided with timely and accurate information.
