What is Storage?
Storage is a fee levied on a shipping line by the port authority if their container stays at the port or terminal beyond the laytime given to clear them.

Storage should not be confused with detention or demurrage. Port authority charges the fee on storage and the shipping company charges a fee for detention and demurrage.
