OOCL Demurrage & Detention Calculator
Recompute OOCL D&D invoices: free time, tiered daily rates and per-container totals with an editable tariff.
Set a tier's days to 0 to mean “all remaining days”.
Defaults approximate a common OOCL import structure — pull the exact brackets from OOCL's published per-country D&D tariff for your trade lane and equipment type.
With your numbers: 10 days − 4 free = 6 chargeable days = 4×$145 + 2×$225 = $1,030 per container.

- OOCL — published demurrage & detention tariff (per country/trade)
- FMC 46 CFR Part 541 billing requirements (US trades)
Demurrage, detention and storage tariffs are set by each carrier, terminal and contract and change frequently. The preloaded figures are editable industry-typical examples, not quotes — always verify against the current published tariff or your service contract before paying or disputing an invoice.
Auditing a OOCL demurrage or detention invoice starts with one question: do the free days and tier rates on the bill match the filed tariff for your country and equipment type? OOCL — the Hong Kong carrier (a COSCO subsidiary) with a reputation for digital tooling via its My OOCL Center — publishes those tariffs; this tool recomputes the math once you've pulled the right column.
About OOCL Demurrage & Detention Calculator
OOCL publishes demurrage and detention as separate per-country PDFs, and its portal shows live free-time status per container. Operational details like this are why carrier-specific calculators beat generic ones: the failure modes differ line by line. Defaults model a typical import scenario (4 free days, 10-day dwell, tiers of $145×4d, $225×3d, $320+). Edit everything. The per-tier breakdown is intentionally formatted like a carrier billing line so a mismatch jumps out — and a mismatch, documented, is a dispute with a number on it.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I find OOCL's official D&D tariff?+
On OOCL's website under demurrage & detention (filed per country and direction, usually with effective dates). Use the document in force on your container's discharge date and the column matching your equipment type — then enter those free days and brackets here to recompute the invoice exactly.
What would 10 days on the clock cost with OOCL-typical rates?+
With the preloaded example (4 free days, then $145 for 4d, $225 for 3d, $320 after): 6 chargeable days = 4 × $145 + 2 × $225 = $1,030 per container. Treat it as a calibration point, not a quote — your filed tariff governs.
Can I see my OOCL free-time countdown live?+
Yes — My OOCL Center's shipment view shows free-time status per container, which beats computing LFDs manually. Screenshot that view when planning pickups: if the portal's stated last free day later disagrees with the invoice, the screenshot is first-grade dispute evidence.
How do I request a OOCL free-time extension?+
Before charges accrue, through your booking contact or the carrier portal, citing the specific cause (vessel delay, exam hold, appointment scarcity) with dates and evidence. Carriers grant documented, cause-specific requests far more readily than post-invoice waiver pleas — by the time it's an invoice, it's a dispute instead.
