Demurrage
Steamship lines and airlines will charge you demurrage, a fee to compensate for the use of their shipping containers (some airlines use containers for air freight). You are granted a limited number of free days, depending on the carrier and the location. After your free time runs out, you will be charged demurrage for each additional day. These charges tend to increase per day after exceeding a certain amount of days.
Demurrage fees are in place to discourage using the provided containers for storage and to compensate for container usage. Before you pick up your international shipment, you must pay all demurrage charges in full. The fee may differ greatly from carrier to carrier and from port to port.
Here’s an example: you have 7 days of free container usage. After that, a charge of $100 per day applies for 3 days. From 4 to 10 days, the fee rises to $250 and finally to $350 for any day exceeding ten days.
Detention
The detention charge usually applies to domestic trucking. The trucking or drayage company bills you for the so-called detention of their trucker or driver in cases. This happens when the loading or unloading of your shipment or containers takes too long. Detention fees are billed at an hourly rate. You can usually expect a free time or grace period of around one to two hours for loading or unloading a container. But this will depend on whether it is a domestic shipment or destined for import or export.
A trucking company will also charge detention if their drayman/trucker has to wait until the loading/unloading of a shipment. This will happen in cases of congestion at the facility - when a port of railroad dock is busy. Demurrage charges due to extreme congestion form, unfortunately, a frustrating part of international shipments. You have to pay these fees even though the congestion is beyond your control or that of your freight forwarder.
A second definition of detention can be a storage charge. A carrier may call it detention when you leave a container shipment beyond a certain amount of free time at the terminal.

Dear Mam
Demurrage is a charge payble to shipping line for delay in empting the vessel/space in the vessel in case of a Bulck cargo or in case of Containerised cargo delay in handing over empty container to the containerline or shipping line then the specied free period.What we pay to the port trust is called ground rent and not Demurrage.
Import demurrage charge is included in the Assessebal value for calculation of customs duty.
