Shipping Dispute? It's Your Right to Fight These Wrongs!

Shipper, Freight Forwarder/NVOCC, or Drayage Provider Services:

Container in a closed area? No empty return appointments? Dual transaction requirements? Holiday demurrage? These are just some of the reasons you may be entitled to a refund or waiver of misapplied Demurrage and Detention Fees. Charging you for these things outside of your control is almost always a violation of the Shipping Act of 1984 and OSRA 2022, and we work to dispute and resolve these issues on your behalf, securing for you any rightful refunds or waivers of misapplied fees.

We also assist with any other disputes related to violations of the Shipping Act and OSRA 2022.

Besides the financial considerations for you, challenging these violations is important for fostering a fair system that benefits EVERYONE in the supply chain, now and in the future.

Ocean Freight Demurrage & Detention Disputes, Refunds, and Waivers

Our Experts Work To Get You Your Money Back or Bring a Resolution to Your Maritime Dispute

Auditing freight and demurrage and detention invoices for overcharges and misapplied fees is a difficult task, and 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 audit your ocean freight and demurrage and detention fee invoices, and more importantly – navigate the charging parties, their attorneys, and the Federal Maritime Commission (if needed); which may result in large 5 and 6-figure returns that can be put directly back into your business, or equally large waivers that 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!
