What is the Storage fee?

What is Storage Fee ? This is the fee for storing Containers in the port, often used with the word storage fee. This storage fee is understood to mean that Containers located in the port will take up a space of the port so this fee will be lost. It is often confused with the DEM fee.

Storage fee is the fee for storing Containers at the port, not through the shipping line but the customer will pay directly to the port.

For example: 2USD/days, Container stays in port for 10 days, 3 days are exempted. So the total fee is: 7*2=14 USD.

Many times shipping companies will collect 2 invoices and both write it as storage fee but the invoice price is different so confusion occurs. Many people even think they have already paid the DEM fee, but in fact it is just a Storage fee. Therefore, when getting D/O, you need to check how many days the DEM is old to avoid unnecessary mistakes.

In the case of exported goods, if they arrive at the yard too early compared to Booking, this fee may be charged. In many cases, there is a shipping company that collects or a port that collects, this must depend on the agreement between the port and the shipping company. As for the collection port, it usually charges the same fee as the overdue fee at the cargo inspection yard. This is also a storage fee, but the storage fee in a Container yard with a special service (cargo inspection) will be collected by the port.

In some cases (not most) additional Storage Charge fees may arise, the port will collect them directly from the shipper (unlike DEM & DET - customers pay for shipping lines), Storage Charge fees are closely related. to DEM fee.
