The 2024 St Lawrence-Great Lakes shipping season officially starts today with the opening of the Welland Canal. Marine shipping is the most efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable mode for moving cargo, achieving 558 per cent lower GHG emissions than trucking, and carrying the same amount of cargo in one season as 7.1 million truck trips. It also supports $66.1 Billion in economic activity throughout North America, approximately 360,000 jobs, and moves 252 million tonnes of vital commodities that are key to maintaining quality of life.

Yesterday's news of the largest ship to travel the Delaware and dock at Philadelphia brought much favorable attention. It was necessary to upgrade our shipping capabilities to support a growing economy. Yet few people are aware of other Delaware watershed issues of the negative impact and environmental destruction caused by the shipping industry. Local economies and rural towns that relied on natural resources were wiped out. 99% of some species are gone. One species that build out local economy is almost extinct, largely due to environmental degradation. Destruction of the bay bottom has caused noticeable decline in fisheries during my years working here. The nonprofit BaySave Corporation was founded in 2010 specifically to help address this problem. We saw the benefits of restorative aquaculture here. But that takes funding, and funding did not come. It will be expensive to recover our lost natural resources, but it certainly can be done. In all the years of working with elected officials, the NJDEP, attending public meetings, serving on boards, giving presentations, etc. we cannot say that we even began to move the needle of larger interests of Trenton and the north. A book was published by Beacon Press in 2019 on this issue, "The Drowning of Money Island" but 2/3 of the 'juicy' details were edited out to avoid the risk of litigation. We expect that someone, someday, will publish the rest of the story. Meanwhile, the annual convention of the Society of Environmental Journalists is hosted by University of Pennsylvania next month. Tony Novak was asked to address a sup-group of about 40 of these reporters expected to visit Money Island as part of a group tour. They will see first-hand the effects of poor public policy and hopefully this will generate some news coverage. https://lnkd.in/ehNt-hcz

Today we had our session addressing key questions around the efforts of ports, terminals, and their suppliers to reduce the environmental footprint of the supply chain. Clearly the topic is high on the agenda and all terminal operators have extensive initiatives in progress to reduce emissions. Another key note is the shift of focus from just the port or terminal to the broader supply chain, starting with the emissions from vessels to the hinterland transportation chain. The role of the regulator is seen as important, if not essential. To create a level playing field, to enforce action, but also to facilitate investments. The role of Optimization of the information flow is seen as en enabler of doing more with less. While transport is growing, doing it more efficiently helps reducing the footprint too. A role of governmental funding is seen to overcome the high CAPEX of going electric. Here the additional hurdle of lack of available electrical power is mentioned. The long term investments there are staying behind and take time. All in all a session that shows that our industry is working hard to work towards a zero emission supply chain.
Live at #CTACNorthAmerica2023! Launching into our first panel discussion now where we invite representatives from Portwise, Ports America, The Port of Virginia, TraPac, BOXBAY, North West Seaports Alliance taking us through The Common Critical Objective: Decarbonizing Container Terminal Operations.

“Currently TMX shipping accounts for only 6% of the total marine traffic in the Salish Sea. We are concerned with 100% of the marine traffic and its associated impacts to our livelihoods as Indigenous people. “To address the risks and impacts of marine traffic, the IAMC must move from A [Advisory] to O [Oversight], and this requires cooperation and participation of all parties. The IAMC Marine Shipping Subcommittee is already doing the things that some of the federally led initiatives are aspiring to do. We are Indigenous led and it’s taken us a significant effort and many years to get to where we are today, to work in cooperation with the impacted communities on the south coast of Vancouver Island. “Having an Indigenous led group like ours allows for less bureaucracy in order to move our work in ocean protection, safety, and monitoring forward. We need to continue to be bold, take action, and protect the land, water, and our food sources.” Trina Sxwithul’txw Vancouver Island Southeast Chair, Marine Shipping Sub Committee The IAMC Indigenous Caucus met on Jan 10-11. Marine protection and the future of the IAMC were central to our discussions.
