Ocean Import Detention and Demurrage Management

What we deliver

The Problem (Before)

Import D&D costs discovered after the fact. No proactive monitoring of free-time expiration at POD. Container dwell at destination accumulates unmanaged.

Who feels this:

Import/Export Manager, Transportation Manager, Transportation Planning Manager

The Outcome (After)

Ocean import D&D charges tracked at every port with free-time countdown and proactive alerts.

What makes this different:

Import D&D costs are discovered after the fact. This system tracks free-time countdowns at every port and alerts proactively before charges accrue, turning D&D from a surprise into a managed cost.

How it works

The building blocks behind this outcome.
What Happens

Demurrage tracking at port of discharge with free-time countdown, detention tracking post-outgate with deadline monitoring, tiered charge calculation, and proactive alerts as containers approach expiration.

The Intelligence Behind It

Port-specific dwell time benchmarks

Carrier-specific D&D patterns at POD

Historical free-time utilization rates

This intelligence exists because the Graph aggregates behavior across 882 enterprise shippers, 10,164 carriers, and 3.6 million facilities over 11 years.

Why This Cannot Be Replicated

Import D&D costs are discovered after the fact. This system tracks free-time countdowns at every port and alerts proactively before charges accrue, turning D&D from a surprise into a managed cost. The intelligence layer is what creates the gap. Building the basic capability is straightforward. Building it on top of 11 years of cross-company global movement intelligence is what cannot be replicated with software alone.
