Great Lakes Stevedoring and terminal operator DBA Metro Ports became a Green Marine participant by enrolling its Ports of Indiana-Burns Harbor’s terminal into the program. Green Marine is the environmental certification program for North America’s maritime transportation industry.
The voluntary initiative strives to surpass regulatory requirements in measurable ways.
Specifically, the program outlines a step-by-step template for port authorities, terminal operators, ship owners and shipyard managers to voluntarily reduce their environmental footprint.
We’re so pleased to see Great Lakes Stevedoring DBA Metro Ports join the program, alongside the Ports of Indiana-Burns Harbor that have been certified since 2014. Becoming a Green Marine participant reflects a serious commitment by Metro Ports to greener practices,
…said David Bolduc, Green Marine’s executive director.
Namely, Green Marine is using 12 performance indicators, including lowering air emissions, minimizing impacts and demonstrating environmental leadership.
More than 140 companies in Canada and the US are participating in Green Marine.
