Port storage fees are climbing as carriers adjust dwell-time billing according to notices reviewed by the PressSpark business desk. Shippers face higher daily charges when containers exceed published free-time windows.
What sparked it
Two carrier advisories and a reader tip about invoice line-items aligned enough to assign a short enterprise dispatch. We have not verified individual shipper contracts.
Practical note
Terms vary by lane and box type; readers should read primary tariff notices. Independent journalism, not logistics consulting.
