Detention, Demurrage and Storage charges in Panama
Detention is the charge applicable in exports, after the free time expires, for the use of the carrier’s container by the shipper. This charge can also apply while the container is undergoing customs inspections, or while the cargo inside the container waiting for departure vessel (based on proforma date), these are calendar days and include holidays.
What is demurrage?
Demurrage is the charge applicable in imports, after the free time expires, inside or outside the terminal, these are calendar days and include holidays.
In case of a demurrage dispute, email PA595-collections@msc.com (email subject: Dispute + Invoice Number), describing the reasons for your dispute.
What are storage charges?
A storage charge is applicable, after the free time expires, for containers left inside the terminal and handled by PSA Rodman. This charge is invoiced directly by MSC.
Paying detention and demurrage charges
All payments must be done directly to our bank account via` wire transfer or certified check. Once completed, please make sure to upload payment confirmation to our online platform: 2vision.mscpanamacounter.com
SOLAS VGM information
SOLAS VGM: a new regulation for a safer supply chain
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.
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?
- myMSC.com (Free of Charge)
Guidelines for submitting your VGM instructions
- 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 Panama Port of Loading, which will be billed to the Shipper of Record.
- Any Shipper of Record-signed VGM will override any VGM derived at or by the terminal.
