{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"Demurrage Accrual","description":"Demurrage accrual is the charge that accumulates daily when a container remains at a terminal beyond the agreed free time (typically 3–7 days). The fee compounds until the cargo is collected or the unit is returned to the carrier. Typical rates range from 50–150 EUR per day per twenty-foot container, depending on the port and shipping line. The consignee or shipper bears this cost unless the carrier's negligence caused the delay.","inDefinedTermSet":{"@type":"DefinedTermSet","name":"Frachtportal Logistics Glossary","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary"},"url":"https://www.freight-academy.com/en/glossary/demurrage-accrual","inLanguage":"en","dateModified":"2026-06-12T21:26:12.991963","citation":"https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/demurrage.asp","markdownMirror":"https://www.freight-academy.com/api/md/glossary/en/demurrage-accrual","provider":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Frachtportal","url":"https://www.freight-academy.com"},"quickSummary":"Demurrage Accrual · Demurrage accrual is the charge that accumulates daily when a container remains at a terminal beyond the agreed free time (typically 3–7 days). · Quelle: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/demurrage.asp"}
