Last Free Day tracking
Catch the Last Free Day before it costs you
Track each container’s Last Free Day. Calculate dates from arrival and project free time, set overrides, and see at-risk containers before demurrage and detention…
The Last Free Day is the final day to collect a container before charges begin. It’s easy to miss across many containers and easy to track once it’s calculated for you.
Calculated from arrival
Set demurrage days, detention days, and a warning window on the project. When a container arrives, its dates follow from those defaults.
Overrides for negotiated terms
If a carrier or terminal grants different terms, set a fixed date or a different number of days on that shipment.
A clear at-risk list
Containers show as needing attention as the date approaches. Mark one as collected and it stops being tracked.

How it works

Frequently asked questions
What is the Last Free Day?
It’s the last day a container can stay at the terminal before demurrage charges begin. The exact terms depend on your carrier and contract.
What is the difference between demurrage and detention?
Generally, demurrage applies while a container stays at the terminal, and detention applies when it’s kept outside the terminal too long. Terms vary by carrier.
Can I change the date for one shipment?
Yes. You can set a fixed date or a different number of days on an individual shipment.
