Wharfage

What is Wharfage?

A fee charged by the terminal in exchange for using a wharf and associated equipment for loading or unloading goods. You may be charged for wharfage twice - once at the port of departure, and again at the port of arrival. Any cargo that is loaded onto or off of a vessel is subject to wharfage.
