DANISH shipping giant Maersk Line has joined Singapore's APL in becoming
one of two carriers willing to allow credit card payment for demurrage
in US ports.
By accepting credit cards - instead of cheques - from Visa, Mastercard
or American Express, Maersk hopes to accelerate transit, reports
American Shipper. Customers can pay by phone only by contacting its
cargo release team on (877) 699 9444 quoting bill of lading and
container numbers.
