Demurrage and Detention Prevention
Bring free-time terms, customs milestones, terminal movement and accountable next actions into one risk-ranked queue—before exposure becomes an invoice.
GOVERNANCE
Confidence-gated intelligence
Every estimate carries confidence and freshness. Low-confidence, stale or conflicting signals route to operator review rather than silently changing the clock.
The problem
Disconnected evidence creates avoidable review work.
Dwell varies by facility, movement and month. These official JNPA figures describe one operating period, not a universal benchmark; they show why a free-time clock needs live milestones and named ownership.

The AI under the hood
A named technique behind an explicit control boundary.
The model has a bounded job. It does not own the workflow or decide what a person must do.
ML Prediction
Technique in plain English
Time-to-event models estimate ETA and dwell; a cost-exposure model combines those estimates with approved free-time and tariff rules.
Inputs
- Carrier, port, customs and terminal milestones
- Free-time terms and charge slabs
- CFS, ICD and delivery appointments
- Route history, day-of-week and movement signals
Confidence gate
Every estimate carries confidence and freshness. Low-confidence, stale or conflicting signals route to operator review rather than silently changing the clock.
Rules fallback
When a model is unavailable, deterministic event clocks, contractual terms, thresholds and escalation rules continue to run.
What the human decides
An authorised person chooses the intervention, approves payments or waivers, and issues instructions to brokers, carriers, transporters or consignees.
Evidence and expected outcomes
Industry evidence, not invented product proof.
Each item states its source class and boundary. Ralixar is pre-launch; these figures do not claim customer outcomes.
28.3 / 74.4 hrs
JNPA reported March 2025 import and export port dwell at 28.3 and 74.4 hours respectively; monthly operational data should be read in its facility and period context.
JNPA Logistics Data Bank Analytics Report · March 20253 practical levers
A peer-reviewed study identified digitalisation, additional free time for hinterland locations and stronger negotiation attention among the most feasible responses to demurrage and detention challenges.
Journal of Shipping and Trade · 20231.2M containers
A Maersk case reported that its managed customers had less than half the D&D cost exposure of non-managed customers in a 2019–2020 North American sample. This is a vendor case, not a Ralixar result.
