Mooring charge coming from plant long time afterwards (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dockage

'mooring charge' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'plant long time afterwards' is the wordplay.
'plant' becomes 'dock' (dock is a kind of plant).
'long time afterwards' becomes 'age' (I've seen this in other clues).
'dock'+'age'='DOCKAGE'

'coming from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dockage that I've seen before include "Berthing" , "Mooring charge" , "berth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
