We are reaching out to inform you of an upcoming adjustment to the demurrage free time start event, effective July 7, 2025. To better align the free time start event with actual availability, we will now mirror the First Available Date (FAD) from terminals.
This change ensures more accurate alignment with operational realities at each terminal, enhancing predictability and efficiency in cargo movement. Please find the updated programming details below:
