From Red Sea reroutes to port congestion to tariff wars, and fuel hikes, freight volatility has returned with full force in 2025. And with it comes the usual challenges: unpredictable costs, cash flow pressure, and risk of service disruption.
Even in 2025, container detention and demurrage charges remain one of the most frustrating and avoidable costs in shipping.
