Before you quote — watch for
- OOCL grants slightly longer detention than COSCO on the same lane — do not assume the group schedule applies.
- Winter operations regularly trigger carrier-side delays that extend free time on request — ask before the free period lapses.
- Working-day counting applies at this port in most filings: weekends and statutory holidays should not consume free time.
- US import: the FMC rule (46 CFR 541) requires the charge to serve an incentive purpose and the invoice to carry 13 specific elements. A defective invoice eliminates the obligation to pay.
