Port Canaveral joins Green Marine as 100th participant
The Canaveral Port Authority (CPA) has joined the Green Marine environmental certification program, a North American initiative committed to advancing environmental excellence in maritime transportation. CPA is the program’s 100th participant.
Said Port Commission Chairman Jerry Allender: "It’s our responsibility to maintain – and when necessary restore – the critical balance of physical conditions that allows Port Canaveral to fulfill its many functions. For an environmentally sensitive area as large and active as Port Canaveral, this requires a day-in day-out commitment."
Green Marine will help Port Canaveral in benchmark its environmental performance and then identify ways to improve it.
"I am especially pleased that Port Canaveral is our 100th participant because it’s an organization that well reflects Green Marine’s philosophy and values," said David Bolduc, Green Marine’s executive director. "One of the driving forces within the extremely dynamic Floridian maritime economy, the Canaveral Port Authority is already engaged in several initiatives to protect the environment and to continue expanding its business in sustainable ways."
Port authorities, terminal operators, ship owners and shipyards in Canada and the United States are enrolled in the program. In October 2013, Green Marine and AAPA signed a memorandum of understanding for the purpose of advancing the environmental sustainability of port and terminal operators.
