Detention refers to charges for holding a truck or container beyond the agreed free time at pickup or delivery. Demurrage applies when containers stay too long at ports or terminals, incurring daily penalties.
Both costs are frequent pain points in international and domestic logistics. They signal bottlenecks in planning, customs, or warehouse processes. Monitoring and managing detention/demurrage helps companies avoid unnecessary penalties and keep freight budgets under control.
