The Port of Rotterdam Authority will facilitate the Green Award discount for sea-going shipping. The discount will encourage safe and green shipping in the liquid bulk segment.
As of 2019, Port of Rotterdam Authority will provide a discount in order to encourage safe and green shipping in the liquid bulk segment.
The year following, certified chemical tankers and sea-going vessels with a cargo capacity of less than 20,000 tons may also benefit from the discount, the authority said.

As the Port of Rotterdam Authority, Deltalinqs, VRC and VNPI agreed in 2017, the tariffs will be increased by 1% in 2019. The port tariffs were then set for the years 2018-2020. Setting the tariff increases provides the market with clarity.
According to the three-year agreement, the Port Authority will adopt the specific measures, such as transhipment discounts for containers in order to strengthen Rotterdam’s position as a container hub and the port tariffs for tankers carrying crude oil will be set at 1.5% below the general increase.
Specifically, the difference between port tariffs for sea-going vessels carrying mineral oil products will be decreased compared to those charged by surrounding seaports. The inland shipping dues will increase by 1% annually for the next three years.
Finally, the tariffs apply to the seaports of Rotterdam, Schiedam, Vlaardingen, Maassluis, Dordrecht, Papendrecht, Zwijndrecht and Moerdijk.
