Green Marine Welcomes Three New Participants

Green Marine, a joint Canada-U.S. initiative aimed at implementing a marine industry environmental program throughout North America, welcomes three new members: The Port of Gulfport, the Port of St. John's and the Port of Indiana - Burns Harbor.

The cornerstone of the Green Marine initiative is its far-reaching environmental program, which makes it possible for any marine company operating in Canada or the U.S. to voluntarily improve its environmental performance by undertaking concrete and measurable actions.

Green Marine’s sixth period of self-assessment is in full swing. Canadian and U.S. ports, ship owners, terminals, shipyards and Seaway corporations participating in the environmental program are reviewing in significant detail their environmental performance for the year 2013. To receive their certification, Green Marine participants must complete a specific process of evaluation, verification as well as publication of their annual environmental performance results in accordance with the new certification policy adopted by Green Marine
in 2013.
