October 17, 2018 at 12:04 pmWhat a coincidence.. Just today I had posted an article about how demurrage, detention and port charges work (https://shippingandfreightresource.com/demurrage-detention-and-port-charges/) and in that there was a question whether demurrage and detention charges were justified..
It will be very difficult to find a mediator here as both parties (shipping line & merchant) have their own agenda as regards cost savings/cost recovery..
