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.
Every container discharged at Antwerp-Bruges starts a countdown. The port is Europe's second container port and its largest chemicals cluster, merged with Zeebrugge in 2022, and its velocity depends on boxes leaving on time — demurrage tiers are the enforcement mechanism. Model yours here: free time, tier rates, days on dock, and the calculator shows the bill the way the carrier will build it.
About Port of Antwerp-Bruges Demurrage Calculator
Local knowledge: Chemical and tank-container flows mean special-equipment surcharges and shorter free times appear on Antwerp invoices more than at most European ports. Patterns like this are why a generic demurrage estimate misleads — defaults here are tuned for Antwerp-Bruges, and every field stays editable for your actual tariff. The cheapest demurrage is the day that never bills: track last free days, book pickup appointments early, and when charges do land, audit them against the published tariff. A 11-day dwell under the example tariff costs €750 per container — visible here before it's payable there.

Frequently asked questions
How much demurrage would a container at Antwerp-Bruges owe after 11 days?+
Under the preloaded example (5 free days, then €105 for 4d, €165 for 3d, €250 after): 6 chargeable days = 4 × €105 + 2 × €165 = €750 per container. Your tariff's actual brackets may differ — edit the tiers to match before relying on the figure.
What triggers the demurrage clock at Antwerp-Bruges?+
Carrier tariffs key the clock to discharge or availability, and at Antwerp-Bruges the distinction matters during heavy vessel exchanges when availability notices lag the crane. Compare the notice timestamp on your arrival notice with the invoice's day one — mismatches there are the easiest demurrage dollars to recover.
Do tank containers get different free time at Antwerp?+
Frequently — special equipment (tanks, flats, reefers) carries shorter free time and higher daily rates in most carrier tariffs, and Antwerp's chemical cluster makes those lines common. Edit the free days and tiers above to the special-equipment column of your tariff, not the dry-box column, before trusting the total.
Does this calculator cover detention (per diem) too?+
The math engine handles any free-time-plus-tiers structure, so yes — switch the inputs to your detention free days and per-diem tiers and it prices the after-gate-out leg identically. Just don't mix the two tariffs in one calculation; carriers bill them as separate line items with separate clocks.
