FAQ sustainability contribution surcharge
Why a sustainability contribution?
RWG operates a 100% CO2 neutral terminal for all its own equipment. Sustainability is a key strategic objective for RWG, which is entirely in line with the Port of Rotterdam Authority's vision for the future of the port of Rotterdam. In line with this strategy, RWG has developed a very extensive ongoing investment programme for the coming years, aimed at being a consistent partner for all modalities in the transition to 100% CO2 neutral supply chains on water, road and rail. This initiative also supports all parties in meeting future EU and government regulations in time. In this context, a sustainability contribution will be introduced from 1 May 2024.
Frequently asked questions
How much is the sustainability contribution?
The contribution is € 2.95 (excluding VAT) per truck visit, regardless of the number of containers brought and/or collected during the visit. The contribution is due both during and outside peak hours. This contribution does not apply to zero-emission trucks.
How is the contribution charged?
The sustainability contribution will, like the peak surcharge, be charged through our partner SecureLogistics. The same methodology applies as for the peak surcharge. See RWG's general terms and conditions for a detailed explanation.
How do I register a zero emission truck?
Unlike regular trucks, zero emission lorries are exempt from the sustainability contribution.
Do you own such a truck?
Register it once by sending an email to customerservice@rwg.nl stating the registration number. From that moment on, the sustainability contribution will be credited for a terminal visit.
Please note: Any already invoiced and paid contributions will be credited to the booking party.
What happens if I don't accept the amended terms and conditions again before 1 May 2024?
Then you will no longer be able to book time slots at RWG from 1 May 2024.
