YORK SHIPPING ASSOCIATION
WINS
2009 U.S. EPA ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY AWARD
Changes to equipment and terminal operations over a five year period resulted in a 45% reduction of air emissions per ton of cargo. Predictions for the next two years show that by 2010, carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced by 811.18 tons per year! Some of the initiatives that contribute to this success include the institution of no idling zones in many port areas. Marine Terminal Operators are restricting idling times of diesel powered equipment through the use of automatic shutoff devices and electric plug-in technology; and all yard equipment now operates on ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel.more>>

Remarks
Presented by Frank M.
McDonough, Esq.
President
Good afternoon. Thank
you for inviting me.
I am pleased to provide
you with an update from
the last time we met
some two years ago. As
you will recall, when
we met at the NYSA Training
Center, I reported that
my segment of the industry,
the port terminal operators
and the cargo vessels,
constituted only 1% of
the emissions in the
North Jersey airshed,
a fact that had been
established by the Port
Authority in a report
prepared by their consultant. >>more
