What a delay could cost

Demurrage and per diem aren't in the estimate because they depend on your terminal, ocean carrier and free time. Here's the typical exposure if the container sits past its last free day.

Days past last free day
03 days14
$300–$750
Demurrage
$225–$450
Per diem
$175–$400
Every extra day

Typical planning figures, not your terminal's tariff. Booking drayage early and pre-pulling are the most reliable ways to avoid these.
