What are Detention Charges?

What is detention? 

Detention is the charge applicable on the actual loading date of the container, after the free time expires, for the use of the carrier’s empty container inside/outside the deports or terminals. This charge can also apply while the container is undergoing Cambodia inspections or while the cargo inside the container is being reworked for safety reasons or delayed of vessel departures.    

In case of a detention dispute or inquiry, email khm-info@msc.com

What are Demurrage Charges?

What is demurrage? 

Demurrage is the charge applicable from vessel discharge to gate in, after the free time expires, inside and outside the terminals for the use of the land.  

In case of a demurrage dispute or inquiry, email khm-info@msc.com.

Storage Charges

What are Storage Charges?

A storage charge is applicable, after the free time expires, for containers left inside the container yard.

Guidelines for submitting VGM instructions

Guidelines for submitting VGM instructions 

MSC prefers to receive a Shipper-Verified Gross Mass (VGM) before cargo is delivered. This helps to avoid any unexpected weighing charges being levied against the cargo at the Cambodia Port of Loading and transit ports, which will be billed to the Shipper of Record. 

The ultimate deadline for VGM submission will be 10:00am local time on the day of the CY cut-off.

Goods on Hanger (GOH)

If you ship clothing or textiles, you'll know that garment racks help to keep items in top condition and avoid creasing during transit. These specially designed hangers can also help to reduce packaging. At MSC, we offer an efficient and competitive garment rack installation and removal service. Contact us to find out more.
