Air, water quality safeguards key to second straight award from port SEATTLE, 6 FEBRUARY 2012: Global 20 40 container carrier APL has been named the most environmentally responsible shipping 20 40 line at the Port of Seattle. The Singapore-based line topped all applicants in the port’s Green Gateway Partners Award program. 20 40 The honor, to be presented later this month, is the second in two years for APL. “APL has done an exceptional job with environmental stewardship and received the highest score of all the applicants,” said Port of Seattle CEO Tay Yoshitani. APL received 98.2 points from judges out of a possible 100 for a comprehensive sustainability program that includes: · Using cleaner 20 40 low-sulphur fuel on vessels at the port to cut 3.5 tons of particulate matter emissions and 30 tons of sulphur oxides emissions annually; · Transferring import containers directly to railcars to eliminate 1 million miles of truck transport and 2,600 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions; · Avoiding ballast water discharge to keep invasive organisms out of local waterways. In 2007, APL voluntarily became the first carrier 20 40 to use more costly low-sulphur fuel in Seattle. The program has been expanded to ports in Hong Kong; Los Angeles; New Jersey; New York; Oakland, California; Singapore; Vancouver, BC; and the European Union.
