Capability within Orca Flow · flow.orcavera.comDetention & Demurrage
D&D monitoring and recovery, built into Orca Flow. Free-time clocks across carriers, threshold alerts, and dispute support that turn a recurring bleed into an auditable line item, all inside your transport management workflow.
What it does
-
Free-time across carriers
Per-container, per-carrier free-time clocks unified into one view. No more checking five carrier portals for the same fleet.
-
Threshold alerts
Configurable warnings at 72h / 48h / 24h before the clock expires, to your inbox, your Slack, your Teams channel. Whichever your ops team actually checks.
-
Dispute support
When the invoice arrives wrong, you have the audit trail: container milestones, carrier-side timestamps, your free-time entitlement, your evidence pack ready to send.
-
Recurring-charge analytics
Find out which lanes, which carriers, which ports actually cost you the most in D&D, and bake that into your next contract.
Part of Orca Flow's transport management
Detention and demurrage charges are the supply chain's silent line item: never planned, frequently overpaid, almost never disputed. EU port congestion and shrinking free-time windows have made the problem worse, not better.
D&D monitoring and recovery is a native capability of Orca Flow, the operational counterpart to TradeShield's tariff-side discipline: track every clock, defend every charge, and surface the patterns that explain why your D&D bill keeps growing.
Because it lives inside Flow, every container event, carrier contract term, and demurrage clock sits on one timeline. No separate tool to configure or maintain.
