THE GREEN WAVEOctober 2015, No 44

Autumn is synonymous with a whirlwind of Green Marine activities. The advisory committees and working groups meet to put the final touches on the updated performance indicators in time for publication in the annual self-evaluation guides. The secretariat has doubled its efforts to recruit and train new verifiers. Planning for the next annual conference is already well under way. There are a number of events involving Green Marine’s participation taking place throughout North America, and the organization is strengthening its online presence. It’s safe to say no one here is bored!

FIVE NEW MEMBERS !WELCOME TO OUR NEWEST PARTICIPANT

QSL and its 12 subsidiaries are joining Green Marine.

The Marine Exchange of Puget Sound is a member-based not-for-profit orga-nization that provides comprehensive commercial vessel movement information services to its membership around the clock. It facilitates safe, secure, efficient and environmentally responsible marine operations. The primary role is to pro-

vide a steady channel of communication and vessel arrival times to its membership. It tracks vessels, moni-toring their movements from approximately 15 days prior to their arrival in Puget Sound or Grays Harbor. The monitoring data is used to create reports that are disseminated to members on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis. The Marine Exchange also provides administrative assistance to several not-for-profit safety, security and response organizations.

Green Marine has signed a nine-month contract with Transport Canada to provide in-sight on the issues and potential solutions to underwater noise generated by shipping and its affect on marine life. To meet the terms of the contract, Green Marine has hired Véronique Nolet as Project Manager – Marine Habitat. While temporarily replacing the organization’s program manager last fall, she laid out the foundations for some of Green Marine’s future environmental performance indicators. She also set up a working group to focus on the underwater noise issue and five meetings have been held to date. A graduate of the Université du Québec à Rimouski, she has been working for 10 years as a marine biologist, primarily for the Réseau d’observation des mammifères marins (ROMM), a non-profit organization dedicated to observing marine mammals to improve conservation strategies. In addition to the creation of new Green Marine environmental performance indicators, the work for Trans-port Canada will provide detailed information about underwater noise, including the various techniques for measurement, its impacts on marine life, internationally accepted mitigation measures and their effective-ness, current and expected regulations and/or guidelines pertaining to underwater noise, as well as existing and pending research for addressing the identified issues.

The Western Canada Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC)’s new $4.5 million G.M. Penman, a 65-foot Ocean Class Oil Spill Response Vessel (OSRV), is only the fifth vessel of its kind with its sister ships operating in Santa Barbara to provide service to offshore production platforms near the California coast.

The OSRVs are smaller, faster and more cost-effective than older unsheltered wa-ter vessels. The G.M. Penman improves WCMRC’s capacity for open-water rapid response and night-time operations.The G.M. Penman has a top speed of 26 knots when travelling to an incident. Once at the scene, the boom arms can be deployed within minutes. Two onboard Lamor skimming brushes have a combined skimming capacity of 32.8 tonnes per hour. It is the first vessel in WCMRC’s fleet that can operate non-stop for multiple

days in open water before having to be resupplied.The G.M. Penman joins WCMRC’s fleet of 32 spill response vessels. It will conduct sea trials in Vancouver, B.C., for the foreseeable future until it is deployed to one of WCMRC’s satellite response bases on the West Coast.

PortsToronto will continue its commitment to environmental sustainability by signing a new three-year agree-ment that will have Bullfrog Power® provide green electricity for all of PortsToronto’s operations, including the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport. The agreement retains the status of PortsToronto and Billy Bishop Airport as the only port authority and airport in Canada to be powered entirely by renewable energy across all operations and facilities, including the airport’s new 260-metre (853-foot) pedestrian tunnel. In 2013 PortsToronto reduced emissions by an estimated 17% using clean energy derived exclusively from a mix of certified wind power and low-impact hydroelectricity.PortsToronto is also in the process of removing up to 40,000 tonnes of debris and sediment from the mouth of the Don River with the goal of stopping the flow of unwanted materials into Toronto’s Harbour and preventing any future flooding. The Leslie Street Spit features three Confined Disposal Facility called “cells” to properly and safely contain dredged material. Once each cell is filled to capacity, PortsToronto seals it with a layer of soil and clay and the Toronto Region and Conservation Authority (TRCA) uses the area to build new wetland habitat for fish, birds and other wildlife.

More than 2,700 people boarded AML Cruises’ Cavalier Maxim to enjoy guided tours of Montreal’s port facilities on September 12th as part of the fourth Port in the City Day organized by the Montreal Port Authority.The event attracted 500 more participants than last year. During this year’s tour, participants were able to get a close-up look at the various facilities involved in the port’s operations and learn how goods make their way from overseas to local store shelves.

PORT OF MONTREAL INVITES ITS NEIGHBOURS TO DISCOVER ITS FACILITIES

The Port of Halifax held its annual public tour on September 20 in partnership with Murphy’s, Ambassatours and Irving to provide boat tours to members of the public. The tour aims to provide the public with additional information about the port, in-cluding the vital connection between the Port of Halifax and the larger community. People are brought up to date on the considerable investment and development that has taken place in recent years.

For example, Richmond Terminals Pier 9C was refurbished and is now taking large/heavy-lift project cargo. The Irving Shipyard, which is now building the next generation of Canadian warships, is located directly beside Richmond Terminals. Visitors were very interested in the activities at each of these locations and how they complement each other.

The Port of Cleveland has sold its first load of Cuyahoga River sediment to a construction company. Great Lakes Construction Co. purchased 6,890 cubic yards (the equivalent of 300 dump-truck loads) of sediment from the port and its partner, the Kurtz Bros. Inc. landscaping company. The material will be used by the Ohio Department of Transportation in the Lakeland Boulevard/I-90 Replacement Project in Euclid.This sale represents a big step forward in the port’s overarching plan to creatively and efficiently manage river sedi-ment, according to the Port’s president and CEO, William Friedman, who says it allows the port to ‘’turn sediment from waste into a useful product while also reducing public expense and advancing green, sustainable practices.”

A $13.5-million project at the Port of Quebec will facilitate buying and installing shore-power infrastructure at the port’s Pointe-à-Carcy terminal. The project is anticipated to eliminate thousands of tonnes of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at the port annually.The Port of Montreal has an $11-million project to install a shore-power connection for cruise ships at the Alexan-dra Pier and a four-connection shore-power system for wintering ships. A total of 2,800 tonnes of GHG will be avoided as a result.Funding is being provided for both ports by the Canadian Shore Power Technology for Ports Program, the Green Fund, the Quebec Ministry of Sustainable Development, the Environment and the Fight against Climate Change, and by each port authority.Shore power is a highly effective way to reduce marine diesel air emissions. It improves local air quality by ena-bling ships to shut down their engines and plug into an electrical grid for the power required while docked.

QUEBEC AND MONTREAL PORTS OBTAINING SHORE POWER

The installation of shore-power facilities for container vessels at two Port Metro Vancouver (PMV) container ter-minals will reduce both air emissions and noise. The $12-million project is being funded equally by Transport Canada’s Shore Power Technology for Ports Program, and PVM.Shore power will be installed at a berth for the Deltaport terminal operated by Global Container Terminal (also a Green Marine participant) and a berth for DP World Vancouver’s Centerm container terminal. Each ship plugged into shore power is estimated to avoid producing 75 tonnes of GHG per docking. Both shore-power installations are expected to be operating by March 31, 2017.PMV was the first port in Canada to implement shore power for cruise ships and has avoided producing 11,000 tonnes of GHG since 2009 as a result.
