demurrage
Container overtime penalty
Demurrage is a charge imposed when cargo or shipping containers aren't loaded or unloaded within the allotted time.
Shipping companies and ports use demurrage fees to keep goods moving and prevent bottlenecks: The delays cost us thousands in demurrage.
The term extends to similar penalties in rail transport and commodities trading.
