What is Free Astray? Free Astray refers to a cargo shipment that has been wrongly shipped and/or unloaded to a destination that is then picked up and shipped to the correct end destination with no charges levied on the shipper by the transporter. This situation is usually only applicable when the transporter makes a mistake and sends cargo to the wrong destination and hence has to make good on his/her obligation to deliver cargo to the intended consignee at their own costs.
