Demurrage, The Cost You Should Not Accept

Demurrage is not a service.
It is a fine for containers doing nothing.

You rarely see it in the plan.
You only see it on the invoice, hundreds or thousands paid for standstill.

It is not bad luck.
It is slow decisions, loose follow up, and no one owning the last free day.

Emails sit.
Trucks are booked late.
Customs waits for “almost” complete files.
Suppliers respond when they feel like it.

Each issue looks small.
Together they become a quiet drain on your profit.

Demurrage is a tax on weak coordination.

During peak seasons, ports clog.
Delays multiply.

You spend your time putting out fires.

At SavR Consult we have helped companies in our region cut demurrage exposure and stop paying for containers that do not move, by closing gaps in planning, communication, and follow up.

If containers are part of your business, how much margin are you willing to donate to demurrage this quarter before you bring in someone to tighten the flow?
