The challenge

When the records disagree, the amount stays unresolved.

Container charges can accumulate while free-time terms, terminal events and notification records remain scattered across counterparties.

COMMON EXCEPTIONS
01

Demurrage and detention calculations

02

Disputed free-time and clock-start dates

03

Incomplete pickup and return evidence

04

Unresolved billing and waiver requests

How resolution works

Establish the facts. Then move the case.

Recouplogic brings the terms, relevant transactions and supporting evidence into a documented assessment. Exceptions can then be validated, prepared for review, and routed through the customer's authorized resolution process.

01

Validate

Check the agreement against the transaction and source records.

02

Prepare

Document the discrepancy, missing evidence and recommended action.

03

Reconcile

Record the decision and verify the corresponding financial outcome.

The commercial fit

Built around the people doing the work.

Who to speak with

Import managers, ocean freight finance teams, forwarders and logistics controllers.

When the workflow makes sense

Businesses facing repeated contested container charges and able to supply the event timeline.

What a first review can deliver

A documented timeline and eligibility assessment for customer-authorized correction or dispute.

A good starting question

“Who checks disputed detention and demurrage bills against the actual container timeline?”

Frequently asked

Demurrage and detention, explained.

Does every port charge qualify for a refund?

No. Rules and contractual terms vary. A charge is marked as potentially contestable only where the applicable rules and evidence support that assessment.

What documents are needed to begin?

Typically: ocean service agreement and tariff, terminal gate and container event records, and notices, invoices and correspondence. Exact requirements are agreed after initial scoping.

Does Recouplogic guarantee financial recovery?

No. Eligibility, contractual terms and counterparty decisions determine what is valid or recoverable. We keep projected and verified outcomes distinct.

Can Recouplogic connect to our existing systems?

Integration requirements are evaluated case by case. A scoped initial workflow may use approved exports and source records before direct integrations are appropriate.
