The 'Energy Adjustment Factor' (EAF) is based on the average gasoil price e (per 1,000 liters) by the KBN (Koninklijke Binnenvaart Nederland). The EAF is adjusted every month based on the gas oil price of 2 months earlier.
As of 1-1-2023, a 'Handling Energy Surcharge' (HES) will be charged from an EAF of 17.00%, according to the table below. This HES applies to all handlings to which the EAF does not apply and is carried out at Hutchison Ports Venlo, Hutchison Ports Belgium and Hutchison Ports Duisburg.
