Detention

A daily charge for keeping a carrier's container outside the terminal beyond free time.

What is Detention?

Detention runs from when the container leaves the terminal until the empty is returned (or, for exports, from empty pick-up until the full container is returned). Slow unloading at the warehouse is the usual cause.
