Get Detention and Demurrage Optimization Tracking Updates

Detention and Demurrage Optimization tracking follows the same API endpoints and workflows as standard Ocean Port to Port tracking, with additional enhanced data for import terminals where project44 has data connectivity.

All tracking APIs available for standard ocean shipments work with Detention and Demurrage Optimization. The key difference is the additional terminal events, cost information, and facility details provided for supported import terminals.

API Endpoints

Use the same four targeted endpoints as standard ocean tracking:

Event History - /api/v4/shipments/{shipmentId}/eventhistory - Returns shipment events and milestones
Position History - /api/v4/shipments/{shipmentId}/positionhistory - Returns shipment positions
Route Information - /api/v4/shipments/{shipmentId}/tracking - Returns route segments and stop information
Full Tracking History - /api/v4/shipments/{shipmentId}/tracking/history - Returns all tracking information

Enhanced Terminal Events

For terminals where project44 has data connectivity, you'll receive additional event types specific to detention and demurrage optimization:

Event Type	Description
`LAST_FREE_DAY`	The last day that the container can be picked up from the terminal without incurring demurrage or detention charges
`CUSTOMS_HOLD`	The container is being held at the terminal by customs
`CARRIER_HOLD`	The container is being held at the terminal by the carrier
`HELD`	The container is being held at the terminal by any party other than carrier, customs
`CUSTOMS_CLEARANCE`	The container has been released by customs and is available for pickup
`RECEIVE_FROM_CARRIER`	The container has been released by the carrier and is available for pickup

`CLEAN_TRUCK_FEE_CLEARANCE`	The container has been cleared from clean truck fee requirements and is available for pickup
`CLEAN_TRUCK_FEE_HOLD`	The container is being held due to clean truck fee requirements
`OTHER_HOLD`	The container is being held for other unspecified reasons
`OTHER_HOLD_CLEARANCE`	The container has been cleared from other hold reasons and is available for pickup
`TERMINAL_CLEARANCE`	The container has been cleared by the terminal and is available for pickup
`TERMINAL_HOLD`	The container is being held at the terminal
`TRAFFIC_MITIGATION_FEE_CLEARANCE`	The container has been cleared from traffic mitigation fee requirements and is available for pickup
`TRAFFIC_MITIGATION_FEE_HOLD`	The container is being held due to traffic mitigation fee requirements

Example: Get Full Tracking History

GET /api/v4/shipments/cfa01403-d76d-4e01-a551-17589083d7d7/tracking/history

The response includes all standard ocean tracking data plus enhanced terminal information and cost data for supported import terminals.

Asynchronous Processing

Like standard ocean tracking, Detention and Demurrage optimization data is processed asynchronously. Enhanced terminal information appears as containers reach terminals where project44 has data connectivity.

Error Handling

Error handling follows the same pattern as standard ocean shipments:

400 Invalid request
401 Invalid or missing credentials
403 User not authorized to perform this operation
404 Not Found

See Error Response Codes for more information.

For complete API documentation and workflows, refer to the Ocean Port to Port tracking guide. All endpoints and methods apply to Detention and Demurrage Optimization with the additional enhanced data described above.
