South African businesses are currently on a strong growth path, expanding into new regions both locally and across borders. This journey demands a single-partner logistics solution that is not only reliable but also scalable-one that can adapt to diverse infrastructure, regulatory environments and customer expectations.

We offer you the flexibility to not only support your growth ambitions but also to build the resilience required to stay competitive in dynamic environments.
Keep your costs under control
Are demurrage and detention (D&D) costs causing a significant impact on your business in South Africa? These charges arise when containers are held at ports or terminals beyond the allowed free time, either before pickup (demurrage) or after pickup but before return (detention). In a fragmented logistics setup, delays in inland transport, poor coordination among vendors, or customs bottlenecks can easily lead to containers overstaying their allotted time. This not only increases your operational costs but also disrupts delivery schedules and strains customer relationships.
When you choose Maersk Intermodal, you don’t have to pay any D&D charges while your cargo is with us. Our seamless rail and road network, combined with ocean logistics, ensures smoother transitions between sea and land, enabling better planning and faster container turnaround.
