Demurrage and detention are the most preventable costs in container shipping — and among the most common. They're not freight charges; they're clock charges, and the clocks start whether or not anyone told you.滞期费和滞箱费是集装箱运输中最可预防的成本——也是最常见的。它们不是运费，而是时钟费用，而且无论是否有人通知您，时钟都会开始计时。
| Charge费用 | What it's for针对什么 | Clock runs while…计时条件 |
|---|---|---|
| Demurrage滞期费 | Container space inside the terminal码头内的集装箱占位 | Container sits in the terminal past its free days集装箱在码头停留超过免费天数 |
| Detention滞箱费 | Use of the carrier's container使用承运人的集装箱 | Container is out with you and not yet returned empty集装箱在您处且空箱未还 |
| Storage仓储费 | Terminal or warehouse space码头或仓库空间 | Charged by the facility on its own tariff由设施按自身费率收取 |
Free time is short — commonly only a few working days at the terminal and a handful of days for equipment return, varying by carrier, terminal, and contract. Daily rates escalate in tiers: the second week costs far more per day than the first.免费期很短——码头通常只有几个工作日，还空箱也只有几天，因承运人、码头和合同而异。日费率阶梯式上涨：第二周的单日费用远高于第一周。
Vancouver moved a record 3.8 million TEUs in 2025 through terminals that won't grow capacity until Roberts Bank Terminal 2 opens. Vessel bunching after Pacific storms, rail car supply swings, and CBSA exam queues all eat free days before anyone touches your container. The clock doesn't care whose fault it is.温哥华2025年集装箱吞吐量创纪录达380万TEU，而在Roberts Bank Terminal 2投运之前码头容量不会增长。太平洋风暴后的船舶集中到港、铁路车皮供应波动、CBSA查验排队，都会在任何人碰到您的集装箱之前吃掉免费天数。时钟不管是谁的错。
This is standing procedure on every container we handle out of Vancouver — free-time clocks tracked from the day of discharge, with prepull and transload options priced before they're needed.这是我们在温哥华处理每个集装箱的标准程序——从卸船当天起跟踪免费期时钟，预提和转运方案在需要之前就已备好报价。
