How port storage and demurrage charges actually work — free-day windows, daily rates and the documentation issues that trigger them.

Frequently asked questions

Can storage charges be waived?

Rarely — and only at carrier discretion. Avoid them by acting before day 1 of free time runs out.

Can free-storage windows be extended?

Rarely — ports operate on container terminal slot economics and have no commercial incentive to extend. Some carriers (Höegh, Grimaldi) negotiate 2-3 extra days for premium accounts; ask before booking.
