Introduction of Emergency Fuel / Energy Surcharges (Inland)

Because of the current geopolitical situation and the resulting uncertainty in the international energy market, particularly regarding key supply routes, diesel prices are expected to become more volatile in the coming weeks. Since diesel is a significant cost component in inland transportation and handling, short-term price fluctuations could affect the operating costs of inland services.

To ensure the transparent and fair recovery of fuel-related cost changes, we may introduce or update a separate inland fuel floater (diesel) for applicable inland services. Where applicable, inland charges will be presented as a combination of inland haulage and a distinct inland fuel component. This structure increases transparency regarding fuel-related adjustments and enables them to be reduced or eliminated once fuel costs stabilize.
