Example: Calculate D&D for a shipment

What are the detention and demurrage charges for a 20ft dry container at Nhava Sheva 
(INNSA) on Maersk if it's been 10 days over free time?

The dd_calculate tool returns a slab-by-slab breakdown with daily rates, total accrued, and free time details — sourced directly from Maersk's published tariff.

Payment

Paid tools use the x402 protocol — a standard for HTTP micropayments. When an agent calls a paid tool:

  1. The server responds 402 Payment Required with a USDC payment details
  2. The agent pays via Base Mainnet or Solana (USDC)
  3. The agent retries with an X-PAYMENT header
  4. Data is returned

Payment amounts range from $0.01 to $0.25 per call. No subscriptions, no API keys needed for basic access.
