Environmental Opportunities in Marine Transportation
• Fewer emissions / better air quality • Less fuel consumption• Fewer accidents and less highway congestion
Efficient and Environmentally Friendly!

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
Sustainability Efforts in Marine Transportation

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

Key messages -
We deliver 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.
Trends in Marine Transportation
23
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)
Intermodal Study
