Shipping lines justified shorter free time periods with&nbsp; the need to increase fluidity and help to ease port congestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FIATA International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations, urges shipping lines to review and reinstate the current free time periods back to pre-pandemic levels. Whilst the decision to reduce the free time periods was one-sided, market conditions have in the meantime changed, and justifications for status quo no longer remain valid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FIATA notes that it is the obligation of shipping lines to provide a reasonable free period to allow merchants sufficient time for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the loading and delivery of the container for an export<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the pick-up, unloading and return of the empty container for an import.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FIATA calls for detention and demurrage practices to be in line with the velocity principle, with multi-stakeholder coordination to respond to market needs in a timely manner to strengthen supply chain resilience.
