I've shot an email to the old imports manager I used to work with when I was still doing shipping on a cargo basis rather than entire ship basis. I don't know if things have changed in the last 6-7 years since I have been involved with it but will see if your situation is normal and if he knows anything that can be done to lessen these.
For the container demmurage have you ever spoken with the lines and ever tried to negotiate a different demurrage time citing how often these things are held over for inspections? Might also be a non starter if you don't use the same shippers or just don't do much volume, but can't hurt.
