Detention, demurrage, Per Diem and storage charges

What is Demurrage?

Demurrage is the charge applicable, after the free time expires, for the use of the carrier’s full container inside and outside the marine terminal, railroad facilities or container yard. This charge can also apply while the container is undergoing customs inspections, or while the cargo inside the container is being reworked for safety reasons, etc.

 

What is Storage?

A storage charge is applicable, after the free time expires, for containers left inside the marine terminal, rail ramp or container yard (for the use of the land).

  

What are the applicable conditions?

Please get in touch with us at

to get valid demurrage and storage conditions for your shipment.

SOLAS VGM information

What is VGM?

Verified Gross Mass or VGM refers to the exact, verified weight of a packed container. For safety reasons, vessel operators can only load a container if its weight has been verified.

In line with SOLAS (Safety of Lives at Sea) regulations, all marine terminals in the USA are now allowed to use their certified scales to record Verified Gross Mass (VGM) of shipments.

 

What do I need to include in my VGM instructions?

You must include the following on all VGM instructions: 

  • Booking or Bill of Lading (BL) number 

  • Container number 

  • VGM + weight measurement unit (lbs. or kgs.) 

  • Responsible Party Name 

  • Digital signature of the authorized signatory in all capital letters.

   

How can I submit my VGM instructions?

 

Guidelines for submitting your VGM instructions

  • Most of the European Ports of Loading require to have VGM submitted prior to container gate-in otherwise shippers face a risk being charged for incorrectly declared container weight.

  • MSC prefers to receive a Shipper-Verified Gross Mass (VGM) before cargo is delivered. This helps to avoid any unexpected weighing charges being levied against the cargo at the European Ports of Loading, which will be billed to the Merchant or the Booking Party.

  • Please check your respective Booking Confirmation for specific VGM deadlines or refer to myMSC for updated schedule and closing details.

Intermodal conditions for positionings in Slovakia 

Waiting time

For truck positionings in Slovakia in the MSC’ care there is free time for loading and eventual custom procedures 3 hours since delivery of the container to the first delivery place (unloading place or custom office). There’s not counted in this time the time of driving between stops. By exceeding this free time there will be charged waiting time for each commenced hour till the end of all activities or stops. Merchant is obliged to confirm the trucker the end of loading or unloading on a special form or in electronic device which are at driver’s disposal.

 

Overweighted shipments

In case the axle pressures of the road or railway limits are exceeded due to incorrect distribution of the cargo loaded in a container, the Merchant and the booking party will be charged a possible fine and any associated costs, as well as all costs and penalties incurred by incorrectly declared weight of goods.

 

Positioning cancelation

If cancellation of the transport by truck is done after 11:00 a.m. of the workday before appointment date, the Merchant and the booking party will be charged with all actual incurred costs connected with the transport.

If the Merchant or the booking party cancels the train from or to the port less than 72 hours before the scheduled departure, he may be charged with Dead Slot Fee for all actual incurred costs.

 

Container weighing

MSC can arrange weighing for VGM purposes in case of Carrier’s haulage shipment as an additional service. If the Merchant or the booking party submits a request to arrange weighing for VGM purposes within EDI booking, the service is subject to a fee; if afterwards once a booking is already processed, the fee is different.

VGM certificated is shared with Merchant or the booking party after the container is loaded with cargo by the Merchant or its subcontractors and once the certificate is available.

 

Container inspection prior cargo loading

In case of Carrier’s haulage, the Merchant is responsible for inspecting the empty Container for its suitability to carry the specific shipment booked at the time of arrival to place of receipt. Any later refusal of a Container will cause additional costs for the account of the Merchant and neither MSC nor its agents shall be held liable for the costs of changing/replacing a Container accepted during empty positioning unless the defect affecting the Container was not detectable during a reasonably careful inspection; in which case the costs of the Container changing shall be shared equally. Notwithstanding the generality of the above, a light-test (visual verification of any light entry from within the Container with closed doors) is compulsory prior to each empty Container’s acceptance and no liability shall be borne by the Carrier or its agents for costs of exchanging a Container found with holes or cracks at a later stage if this could have been detected by a light test.

Booking cancelation fee

In case of cancellation of the placed booking, a Booking Cancelation Fee (BCF) will be applied and charged to the Merchant or the Booking Party. There are multiple tiers of BCF that varies based on the day the cancelation is requested.

For more information on Booking Cancelation Fee please get in touch with us at SK466-teamsk.export@msc.com.
