D&D stands for Demurrage and detention, a logistics, supply chain & trade abbreviation.
Charges for keeping containers beyond the free time allowed: demurrage generally applies while a full container stays in the terminal, and detention while the container is outside the terminal and not yet returned.
Example: Customs holds left us with $6,000 in D&D before we could return the empty.
Usage notes
Definitions vary by carrier and country. The US Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 and later Federal Maritime Commission billing rules required carriers to justify D&D charges and include specific information on invoices.
