Washington United Terminals (Tacoma)
WUT (HMM group) · Seattle / Tacoma · USSEA
The Northwest Seaport Alliance publishes terminal free time separately from the carrier tariff, and rail-bound boxes switch from demurrage to a rail storage tariff at the ramp — a frequent mis-billing.

What is usually reversible
Vessel bunching shifts discharge dates; verify the actual discharge timestamp. US import: under the FMC rule (46 CFR 541) a demurrage or detention invoice must carry specified information and the charge must serve a genuine incentive purpose. A defective invoice eliminates the obligation to pay.
