The Port of Helsingborg is rolling out a temporary surcharge after a recent spike in renewable diesel prices.
Helsingborgs Hamn, a Sweden-based port operator, said higher energy costs—driven in part by geopolitical pressures on fuel markets—are now directly affecting terminal operations.
The port uses HVO100 across most of its diesel-powered equipment, but the sharp increase in prices has led it to introduce an Emergency Energy Surcharge.
The charge will be tied to the market price of renewable diesel and calculated based on actual energy use in container handling.
The port said it remains focused on improving efficiency and reducing emissions, even as energy market volatility continues to impact operating costs.
