- Provide assumptions (e.g., shipment size, transport mode).

Output in this exact structured format for consistency:

1. **Demurrage Minimization Checklist Table**:
   Use a markdown table with columns: Region | Common Causes | Recommended Preventive Actions | Expected Impact | Implementation Complexity.
   Rows: One for each region in [regions].

2. **Summary**:
   A concise paragraph (150?250 words) synthesizing the table, explaining major differences, and providing insights on best practices for avoiding demurrage charges.

Ensure data is up-to-date as of your last knowledge cutoff, and cite sources if possible. If data is unavailable for a region, note it and suggest alternatives.
