Debt Recovery for Demurrage

Transporting goods—whether by sea, rail, road, or air—can be intricate and filled with potential setbacks. Unexpected delays, vessel demurrage, storage fees, and other unforeseen complications often disrupt logistics. Since 1995, Interlegal has specialized in transport law and international logistics, helping businesses navigate and resolve these challenges effectively.

Our Services Include:

    • Engaging in discussions with container lines over demurrage costs, vessel detention, and storage charges for unclaimed cargo.
    • Pursuing the most favorable terms to mitigate risks and reduce financial burdens.
  2. Preparation of Contracts
    • Drafting flexible, thorough agreements and supplementary contracts for freight forwarding, cargo handling, transshipment, and machinery purchases.
    • Developing Terms & Conditions that protect all parties while streamlining operations.
  3. Appealing Official Decisions
    • Challenging adverse rulings by customs and other government authorities to safeguard your cargo and maintain business continuity.
  4. Development of Documentation
    • Creating custom home bills of lading and establishing Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) frameworks.
    • Preparing individualized FCR (Forwarder’s Certificate of Receipt) templates and associated rules, ensuring clarity and dependability.
  5. Debt Collection
    • Recovering outstanding payments from clients and seeking compensation from subcontractors for losses or damages they may have caused.
  6. Protection of Interests
    • Providing legal representation in courts and arbitrations, both within Ukraine and abroad, to uphold your rights and secure optimal outcomes.

Our Advisory Scope Includes:
