Maersk container tracking — what the delay is costing you

Tracking tells you where the box is. It never tells you what it is about to cost. Enter a Maersk container number and your discharge port to get the last free day and the dollar exposure of every day past it — carrier demurrage, detention and, where it runs separately, terminal storage.

Maersk bills demurrage and detention as separate clocks at Los Angeles / Long Beach. Discharge of the container from the vessel (some filings start the following day).

Market-typical per-diem for this region, escalated through the published band structure. Your service contract or the carrier filing overrides it — we verify against the actual tariff on a free audit.

The Maersk gotcha

Merged "D&D" lines hide which clock produced the charge — always demand the split before paying.

Already been billed by Maersk?

A charge that does not serve an incentive purpose, or an invoice missing required elements, is disputable. Send three recent invoices and one bill of lading and we return a written leak report in 48 hours — free, no contract.
