What UP publishes
The Intermodal Storage Policy page, under the Intermodal Resource Center , gives separate free time for domestic and international units and charge tables by day. We do not copy them. What it says in words:
- Free time starts at 0001 after the day the unit is notified.
- If an intermodal terminal is closed for an entire calendar day for any reason, that day is not included in free time or storage charge calculation.
- Rates are subject to change with 30-day notice.
- Information in UP’s official documents (tariffs, circulars, contracts, quotes) supersedes the page.
The resource center also lists Intermodal Terms & Conditions and an intermodal holiday schedule.
Using it
Ask for the notification date and compare with the invoice. This clock starts at notification, not ocean discharge, so it is not the ocean last free day . Rail is not in our calculator yet; see rail storage vs ocean demurrage .
