B) Demurrage, for sure. I can't imagine any of the other options being the right term for port/cusYolandos delays. This one's a no-brainer.

Haha, I bet the answer is C) Dunnage. You know, that's the stuff they use to keep the cargo from moving around. Totally messing with the examiner here!

Hmm, I want to say it's D) Cabotage, but that doesn't sound right. Maybe it's B) Demurrage? Shipment delays can be such a pain.

Detention is different from Demurrage, it's more about holding containers.
