dock fees
When cars are shipped from one place to another, the company that holds them at a port may charge extra money for keeping the cars there. This extra cost is called a dock fee, and it can be different in each area.
Dock fees are charges levied by a port or terminal for storing vehicles on their premises, typically applied to cars shipped from one location to another. They can vary widely depending on the region and the length of time a vehicle is held.
