Introduction of Export Demurrage and Detention in Djibouti & Ethiopia effective from 1st December 2021

In recent months we have seen a global shortage of containers which has been further compounded by bottlenecks across global supply chains caused by the general volatility resulting from the pandemic.

We continue to work hard to mitigate the effects felt by our customers through various initiatives such as injecting additional containers into our fleet as well as increased speed and frequency of repositioning equipment. We continue to find solutions with customers and partners across our network to better serve their needs during these volatile times.

Due to the above, Maersk will be introducing Export Demurrage and Detention in Djibouti and Ethiopia effective from 1st December 2021.

We would like to encourage you to turn around containers as quickly as possible to assist in easing the global shortage and ensuring we are able to return these containers into the fleet to cover the demand.

The free time offer shall be as following.

The tariffs applicable upon expiry of above free time shall be as following. The tariffs are charged per container per calendar day.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to your local sales or customer service representative. You will find contact details on Maersk website.

We appreciate your business and look forward to continuing working with you.
