Protect your drayage balance sheet against invalid port demurrage invoices and steamship line per diem penalties. Calculate cumulative charges, apply weekend/holiday calendar exclusions, and generate Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) audit packets when containers were held in closed terminal areas or denied gate appointments.
Input container dwell parameters to calculate billed charges vs. legally disputable fees under FMC OSRA-22.
Under 46 CFR Part 541, marine terminal operators and ocean carriers are legally prohibited from assessing demurrage when cargo is unavailable.
If the container is staged in a "peel pile", closed row, or terminal hold section where a drayman cannot legally hook and pull, demurrage clocks must be suspended under federal law.
If an MTO requires dual-transaction appointments but zero appointment slots were released prior to LFD, demurrage cannot accrue. Exspeedite logs automated screenshot timestamp evidence.
Invoices failing to contain all 13 required OSRA-22 statutory data elements (container number, vessel discharge date, LFD, free time calculation) are legally defective and voidable upon formal dispute.
Connect with Exspeedite founder and transportation systems architect Scott Elliott to integrate automated LFD countdowns, appointment screenshot logging, and 1-click FMC dispute generation.
