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 . 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 owns and operates Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, four container cargo terminals, two 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.

www.green-marine.org Industry Success Stories Seaspan Ferries to install shore power Seaspan Ferries Corporation will be installing shore power at the Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal. Shore power is a highly effective way to reduce marine diesel air emissions by enabling ships to shut down their engines and connect to the electrical grid in order to provide necessary power while docked. Once instal- led, shore power will decrease fuel consumption at the Swartz Bay Ferry Ter- minal by approximately 70,000 litres annually, representing a net savings of about $45,000 and an approximate 210,000 kg reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. Seaspan Ferries will receive up to $89,650 from the Government of Canada towards the total project cost of $179,300. Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal

Electric Vehicle Charging Station at GVHA

An electric car charged up at Ogden Point’s new station for the first time on March 27.

She can comfortably accommodate 381 passengers and also offers a total of 160 berths in 63 cabins. Where cargo is concerned, she can carry 125 containers and is equipped with a lifting crane. The ship was built with the greatest concern for sustainable deve- lopment. Her engines are IMO Tier II compliant, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Also, the ship holds its «Green Passport», certified by Lloyd’s Register, detailing the materials used in its construction. She began her regular service last week.

Port of Halifax invests in operational efficiency

The is investing in technology to help reduce levels of emissions and fuel usage at the port, among other benefits. It will be acquiring an integrated port logistics system and an air gap system with the help of federal funding, un- der the Strategic Highway Infrastructure Program. The total cost of $660,000 for the two intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is split evenly between the port and the government of Canada. With the new ITS, port operators and shippers will have confidence in the ability of ships to transit beneath the bridge, preventing delays in accessing and leaving the port and ultimately help reduce levels of emissions and fuel usage.
