Environmental challenges with Marine Transportation
10
Environmental Challenges Noise NOx, SOx, CO2, Particulate Matter Dust CFC’S Cargo Hold Residues Toxic Metals Particles and oily water Garbage Antifouling paint Sewage Ballast Water Speed Ship Recycling Ligh t VOC Paint Halon
11
11 Environmental Challenges Dust, noise, light & odour Sewage / waste Storm water runoff Air emissions Cargo residue Dredging and sediments
12
Environmental Opportunities in Marine Transportation
13
Fewer emissions / better air quality Less fuel consumption Fewer accidents and less highway congestion Efficient and Environmentally Friendly!
14
Jumbo RailcarLarge Semi-Truck 18,000 Tons100 Tons26 Tons 1 Coal Vessel 18,000 Tons 7,116 gallons / fuel 1 ton of emissions = 180 Railcars 18,000 Tons 36,360 gallons 11 tons = 692 Trucks 18,000 Tons 110,700 gallons 16 tons Coal Vessel Transportation Efficiencies
15
15 Environmental Advantages One ship carries as much cargo as 1000 trucks Marine emissions 30% less than rail / 800 times less than trucks Significantly fewer accidents & spills than trucks or trains
16
Sustainability Efforts in Marine Transportation
17
17 Green Marine Program A voluntary, industry sustainability initiative Great Lakes & St. Lawrence region 45 companies participating and growing Goals: Strengthen environmental performance Build strong relations with all stakeholders Improve awareness
18
18 Green Marine Program
19
New communications initiative
20
Key messages - We deliver critical cost efficiency to many major industries We already deliver environmental benefits, like GHG performance, and We are committed to delivering further environmental improvements
21
21 Economic impact Great Lakes shipping - Saves shippers $2.7 billion annually compared to using alternate modes of transport Provides 150,000 jobs in US & Canada Serves 50% of US manufacturing capability located within 8 GL states.
22
Trends in Marine Transportation
23
23 Marine Highways Shortsea Shipping Optimize the strengths of each mode Benefits: Reduce road congestion Reduce GHG emissions Reduce infrastructure costs Improve safety Support trade growth Eliminate obstacles to shortsea shipping (i.e. HMT)
