·       FIATA Best Practices - Demurrage and Detention in Container Shipping

·       FIATA最佳實務指引 - 貨櫃運輸中的延滯費和延還費

FIATA Multimodal Transport Institute Working Group Sea announced the release of its first “Best Practice Guide” focusing on the charging of demurrage and detention. The guide provides best practices that may help reduce supply chain costs and inefficient operations leading to unnecessary detention and demurrage charges.

FIATA acknowledges that demurrage and detention charges are a valid and important tool for shipping lines to ensure that their equipment is being returned as fast as possible and users exceeding the contractual duration of use should be charged accordingly. However, merchants should not be subjected to unjust and unreasonable charges. FIATA believes the guide will provide orientation to its members and all stakeholders as to which conditions are adequate.
