Port of Green Bay’s Economic Impact* • Commercial vessel arrivals 174 • Family-wage jobs 621 • Income from jobs $27 million • Regional economic impact $75 million • Value of cargo $315 million • Taxes (State and Local) $5.3 million • Tourists & boatwatchers Many *2008 Economic Impact Report by Bay-Lake Regional Planning Commission
Environmental Challenges NOx, SOx, CO2, Particulate Matter Speed Dust CFC’S Toxic Metals Halon Noise VOC Paint Light Garbage Ship Recycling Cargo Hold Residues Particles and oily water Ballast Water Antifouling paint Sewage
Environmental Challenges • Dust, noise, light & odour • Sewage / waste • Storm water runoff • Air emissions • Cargo residue • Dredging and sediments
Efficient and Environmentally Friendly! • Fewer emissions / better air quality • Less fuel consumption • Fewer accidents and less highway congestion
Transportation Efficiencies Coal Vessel Jumbo Railcar Large Semi-Truck 18,000 Tons 100 Tons 26 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 = =
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
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
Green Marine Program • 6 priority issues: • Invasive species • GHGs • Air emissions • Cargo residue • Oily water • Dust, light, noise
New communications initiative Key messages - • Wedeliver critical cost efficiency to many major industries • We already deliver environmental benefits, like GHG performance, and • We are committed to delivering further environmental improvements
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.
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)
