After workforce and depreciation, fuel is the third-largest operational cost component; the latter's cost increased by 8%. Westports uses unsubsidised diesel for its terminal trucks and container yard cranes and purchases the fuel in Dollars based on prices published by Platts. Hence, the fuel cost increase was due to fluctuations in international fuel prices and Ringgit
vis-à-vis Dollar and is not due to the Government's decision to remove the diesel subsidy.
在劳动力和折旧后，燃料是第三大运营成本组成部分；后者的成本增长了8%。Westports为其终端卡车和集装箱堆场起重机使用未补贴的柴油，根据Platts发布的价格以美元购买燃料。因此，燃料成本增加是由于国际燃料价格和人民币相对美元的波动所致，而不是由于政府取消柴油补贴的决定。
