Customer Advisory - North America Demurrage Tariff Changes
Implementation of an Import Demurrage Charge at Canada & U.S. Rail Ramps for Equipment Use (CY Delivery Only)
Dear Valued Customer,
Effective September 15, 2021 (based on rate applicability date), Hamburg Süd will begin charging line demurrage at ramps for equipment use if a container dwells on terminal longer than freetime. This will apply to containers moving on a CY basis to all rail ramps. Freetime is 4 working days at CSX rail ramps and 3 working days at all other rail ramps. After freetime expires the below import demurrage charges will apply for equipment use (customers will continue to work directly with the ramps for any storage charges due):
| Days | Dry Equipment |
| Day 1-4 | $150 per Day |
| Day 5-8 | $210 per Day |
| Day 9+ | $240 per Day |
| Days | Refrigerated Equipment |
| Day 1-3 | $310 per Day |
| Day 4+ | $435 per Day |
| Days | Special Equipment (Open Top Flat Rack) |
| Day 1-3 | $310 per Day |
| Day 4+ | $415 per Day |
If you require more information, please contact your local sales manager or any of our customer service advisors.
With kind regards,
Hamburg Süd
