Before you quote — watch for
- ZIM applies short free time on special and reefer equipment; the standard dry free time rarely carries over.
- Free zone versus mainland clearance changes the clock materially — state which one applies on the booking.
- This lane is commonly billed as one merged D&D clock. Two separate free periods do not apply — count one continuous window from discharge to empty return.
