MSC Denmark was established in 1995 and has become a market-leading brand within the industry, both in Denmark and worldwide.
Container depots owned by MSC's logistics arm, MEDLOG, were opened in Aarhus and Copenhagen in 2019 and 2020. This was part of the company’s strategy to offer our customers reliable, easy and fast access to a wide range of equipment.
Our aim is to offer industry-leading, end-to-end tailored logistic solutions – cooperating with some of the best providers within their fields, such as trucking companies and providers of customs services.
Demurrage & Detention – What is it?
Demurrage/detention also known as container rent. This is the charge the ocean carrier charges their customers for rental and usage of the containers after advised free days expires (inside and outside the port area).
Storage – What is it?
Storage is quay rent at the terminal. The terminal operator charges the ocean carrier for using their yard to store full containers. This charge is passed on from the ocean carrier to the customers after free days expires.
Government approval status
The new regulation will be enforced globally, but countries can issue their own guidelines based on the SOLAS requirement.
Weight tolerance is widely considered as 2-5%, but Danish Maritime Authority have indicated a grace period from 01. July 2016 until end June 2017 where +/- 1000 kgs is accepted.
Danish Maritime Authority will also be handling any checks and issuing fines if found applicable.
With regards to gates procedures (acceptance gate in without VGM), this will be possible. But the legislation clearly states, that no container will be loaded onboard the vessel unless VGM is confirmed.
