Greentech 2013 in Vancouver Bc Dear readers, May 2013, No 28 As Green Marine prepares to host its sixth annual environmental conference, it can count eleven new members. Happy reading! WELCOME TO OUR NEW MEMBERS! GREEN MARINE IS PLEASED TO WELCOME FOUR NEW PARTICIPANTS Maher Terminals Holding Corp operates the Fairview Container Terminal in the Port of Prince Rupert. The terminal is primarily a ship and rail operation. MTHC converted the Fair- view terminal from a general cargo facility to a state-of-the-art container handling facility in October 2007. Since Prince Rupert is the closest major North American port to Asia with direct on-dock access to the CN Rail network, ocean carriers and their clients benefit from shorter transit times between Asia and North American markets. The terminal has been specifically designed as a high-volume Intermodal container transfer facility and containers move rapidly between ship and rail, thereby further reducing total transit time. Founded in 1911, The Port of Seattle owns and operates Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, four container cargo terminals, two cruise ship terminals, one grain terminal, a public cargo terminal, four public marinas, and manages a number of real estate assets for financial return and econo- mic advantage. The port’s operations currently help create nearly 200,000 jobs and $7 billion in wages throughout the region. Over the next 25 years, the port’s “Century Agenda” seeks to create an additional 100,000 jobs through econo- mic growth while becoming the nation’s leading green and energy-efficient port.

Committed to providing efficient, reliable cargo handling services to ocean carriers, Fraser Surrey Docks has been serving the needs of their container, break bulk, project cargo, forest products and bulk customers in Port Metro Vancouver and around the world since 1962. Their facility is located in the grea- ter Vancouver area of Surrey along the banks of the mighty Photo: Allan Katowitz Fraser River. Established in 1972, Squamish Terminals is a deep-water, break-bulk terminal located at the north end of Howe Sound – just 32 nautical miles north of the Port of Vancouver. With an intermodal trans- portation infrastructure (including access to rail, ocean and truck), 2 berths, 3 warehouses, specialized handling equip- ment and an experienced team, Squamish Terminals effi- ciently handles cargo bound for North America and around the world. GREEN MARINE IS PROUD TO COUNT TWO NEW SUPPORTERS To protect the St-Lawrence we must first experience it. ÉcoMaris, a non-profit orga- nization, aims to increase environmental awareness and education in the maritime sector through concrete nautical projects on board its traditional sailing ship. Éco- Maris works with communities, businesses and governments to provide opportunities for youth and corporate participants to learn about the maritime industry, to disco- ver the different marine ecosystems and to actively contribute to its conservation. The Vancouver Aquarium is a recognized leader in connecting people to our natu- ral world. As a self-supporting, non-profit association, the Aquarium is dedicated to effecting the conservation of aquatic life through display and interpretation, education, research and direct action. More than 35 million people have visited the Aquarium since its opening in 1956. Located in Stanley Park, the Aquarium has been dedica- ted to conservation, research and education from the beginning. This can be seen through the many conservation and research programs that it operates, as well as through its accreditations, awards and involvement Photos: Vancouver in international conser- Aquarium vation and research pro- jects. GREEN MARINE ALSO WELCOMES FOUR NEW PARTNERS Great Lakes Pilotage Authority’s objectives are to provide economic, safe, reliable and comprehensive marine pilotage and related services in the Great Lakes region, within its geo- graphical boundaries; all waters in the Province of Quebec south of the northern entrance to St. Lambert Lock and all Canadian waters in and around the provinces of Ontario and Mani- toba. Pilotage in the international waters within the boundaries is shared with United States of America Pilot Corporations, which are under the direction of the United States Coast Guard. Tidal Transport & Trading is a diversified Marine Services Company based in Port Moody, Van- couver, British Columbia. Through the combined experience of company personnel having detailed knowledge of port logistics and regulatory requirements in British Columbia and the United States West Coast, Tidal companies are positioned to provide a unique level of personal service to the international and coastal marine transportation industry. Pacific NorthWest LNG is a proposed natural gas liquefaction and export facility on the north coast of Bri- tish Columbia, near Prince Rupert. The proposed facility is a $9 billion to $11 billion investment, with a goal of shipping LNG by late 2018. Pacific NorthWest LNG is owned by PETRONAS, the national oil and gas company of Malaysia and one of the world’s leading LNG com- panies. PETRONAS’s operating company in Canada is Progress Energy Canada Ltd. Pacific NorthWest LNG is currently in the early stages of its project. By the end of 2014 a final investment decision will be made on the construction and operation of a liquefied LNG facility in Prince Rupert. Cleaning and barrier solutions can greatly assist the Owner/Operator when preparing holds in their dry cargo bulk carriers. After years of research and development, RBM HoldSolutions pride themselves with providing the very best of these solutions to the marine industry with products that are easy to use and do not harm the environment.

  • How People Green the Port: Sustainability in Canadian Ports
    How People Green the Port: Sustainability in Canadian Ports by Kristianne R. Hendricks B.A., University of the Fraser Valley, 2014 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of Geography Faculty of Environment Kristianne Rebecca Hendricks 2017 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Spring 2017 Approval Name: Kristianne Rebecca Hendricks Degree: Master of Arts Title: How People Green the Ports: Sustainability in Canadian Ports Examining Committee: Chair: Meg Holden Associate Professor Peter Hall Senior Supervisor Professor Roger Hayter Supervisor Professor Adolf Ng External Examiner Professor Asper School of Business University of Manitoba Date Defended/Approved: April 4, 2017 ii Ethics Statement iii Abstract Canadian Port Authorities (CPAs) annually move $162 billion in international trade and in recent years have been faced with significant pressures to become environmentally sustainable. In response, CPAs have introduced numerous greening strategies with important implications for the dock labour force. This thesis focuses on the greening strategies undertaken by CPAs and their interplay with dockworkers; it identifies these greening strategies and assesses their implications for dockworkers. The thesis adopts a two-part methodology. First, greening measures undertaken by CPAs are categorized and compared. Second, a case study of Vancouver’s port is undertaken through interviews with a broad set of port actors in order to examine the links between labour and sustainability in the port. It is concluded that greening strategies have been an important, albeit uneven trend across CPAs and that dockworkers play an influential role in the greening of the port. Keywords: Canadian Ports; Environmental Sustainability; Labour; Vancouver iv Dedication To the three people who inspire me to keep learning every day: Shaleena, Adalia, and Zoren.

  • About the Port of Vancouver Usa
    ABOUT THE PORT OF VANCOUVER USA The Port of Vancouver USA, the second-largest port on the Columbia River and an invaluable partner to a broad range of shippers and manufacturers, is a thriving West Coast seaport offering the most direct cargo shipping route from the Pacific Rim to North America through its Advantaged Supply Chain. Unique to the Port of Vancouver USA is its capacity for growth – both on the marine and industrial sides. The port has invested millions of dollars to develop the infrastructure and site requirements needed for companies to transport their cargoes and conduct their businesses in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. The port has worked diligently to provide outstanding customer service and to ensure that what’s important to shippers and tenants – whether specialized equipment, skilled labor, warehousing, sustainability programs, or collaboration on site selection, funding or logistics – is available to meet their needs now and in the future should they wish to expand. QUICK FACTS & HIGHLIGHTS The port, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2012, is the third largest port in the state of Washington. It has five marine terminals that provide 13 deepwater shipping berths. The port handled 4.6 million metric tons of cargo in 2012, more than 57 percent in grain exports. However, an increase in the number of grain elevators on the Columbia Snake River System and an increase in agricultural exports from countries such as Australia resulted in less wheat moving across Port of Vancouver docks in 2012. And because wheat is the port’s number one export by volume, the decrease in wheat exports is directly reflected in the 18.5 percent decrease in the port’s overall tonnage from 2011.
