Shippers and forwarders operating in Pakistan that can\u2019t move their boxes because of floods are facing detention & demurrage (D&D) bills of hundreds of thousands of dollars as shipping lines refuse to waive the fees.<\/p>\n

One forwarder, Mohammed Tahir, said: \u201cWe face massive losses due to the flood \u2013 our consignments did not reach our warehouse on time and the goods became out of season, then we faced heavy D&D charges.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another forwarder shared email correspondence that revealed South Korea\u2019s HMM has refused a waiver on more than $40,000 of D&D charges, without offering a reason.\u00a0Taiwan\u2019s Yang Ming is due in excess of $100,000 and did not bother to respond to the forwarder\u2019s request for a waiver. OOCL offered to waive up to 30% of the $35,000 it is charging, but it still leaves the total owed by a single forwarder to around $163,000 for an estimated 150 to 200 containers caught in the floods.<\/p>\n
