Ocean Freight Demurrage & Detention Disputes, Refunds, and Waivers
Our Experts Work To Bring a Resolution to Your Maritime Dispute
Demurrage and detention fee disputes often go nowhere when you try to fight them. This is where we step in! With decades of experience and extensive industry connections, our experts skillfully navigate the charging parties, their attorneys, and the Federal Maritime Commission (if needed) and bring you relief from threats of debt collection and legal action.
It’s not always about demurrage and detention however, which is why we help and assist shippers and forwarders/NVOs with other martime related disputes that arise from violations of the Shipping Act or related laws and regulations. Our goal is always a fast and equitable resolution for you in all matters, whether refunds or waivers are involved or not.
We are NOT debt collectors. We are ocean freight and demurrage and detention experts who have as much an interest in making the FMC (Federal Maritime Commission) aware of Shipping Act and OSRA 2022 violations, as we do making sure you receive your refunds and waivers. It is a core belief of ours that every successful dispute is a step toward a healthier and more equitable supply chain for all.
So let’s get going! No risk. All reward. In most cases there are no upfront costs or fees, and we make the process as easy as possible for you. Let us handle all the hard work behind the scenes so you can focus on running your business. Fill out our short form and get started today!
