Before you quote — watch for
- Detention stops at the nominated depot only. A refused return still stops the clock if you keep the rejection note.
- Project and energy cargo dominate; special equipment free time is materially shorter than dry.
- Terminal storage runs separately from carrier demurrage; oil-and-gas free zone cargo follows a different release path.
- Free-zone versus mainland clearance changes the clock materially — state which applies on the booking.
- Weekly escalation bands apply after free time expires, as at the Lagos ports.
