Freetime Extension

AddExtraFreetimetoYourBooking

Protect your shipments from unexpected delays and avoid costly detention and demurrage charges. Our Freetime Extension service gives you flexibility and control throughout your shipping journey.

Stay ahead of shipment delays

The world of logistics can be unpredictable. And sometimes this unpredictability has a direct impact on your schedule. Issues like congestion at ports, delays from inland transport partners, problems with the local warehouses or even global socio-economic problems are all factors that can result in an unexpected hold-up in your supply chain.

Without enough freetime in your contract, these delays can result in high detention and demurrage (D&D) charges – an unnecessary administrative hassle for your business.

With Freetime Extension, you can add extra freetime to your shipment journey at the start of the booking, after placing a booking or even after your cargo's journey has begun. This gives you full flexibility and control, which makes it easier to adapt to unexpected changes in the global logistics landscape.
