Supporting ports like the exceptional Orkney Harbours Islands Council Authority on the Journey to Net Zero
The Net Zero team at Sealand Projects Ltd have been hard at work partnering with ports to help them better understand and manage their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
One such collaboration is with the Orkney Islands Council Harbour Authority, who are striving to lead the way in sustainable practices within the ports industry. Their ambitious goals align perfectly with our expertise, and we’re delighted to support them on this journey.
As part of the process, we hosted an engaging emissions workshop, bringing together team members to explore tactics and solutions for achieving their net zero objectives. With 29 diverse areas under their jurisdiction, accounting for their carbon emissions was no small feat. However, through clear communication, diligent effort from the Harbour Authority, and Sealand’s strategic approach, we ensured the process was as smooth as possible.
A notable challenge in ports is understanding emissions from visiting vessels, which typically account for over 97% of total emissions. By leveraging Sealand’s specialist vessel emissions software, we were able to provide accurate calculations of GHG emissions across various vessel types and uses, making this complex task much more manageable.
We extend our gratitude to the Orkney Harbours Islands Council Authority for trusting us to deliver their first GHG emissions report. It has been a pleasure collaborating with their dedicated team, and we look forward to future opportunities to support their sustainability journey.
