Port of Green Bay

1. Port of Green Bay

2. Port of Green Bay Today, the Port of Green Bay is a vital part of the NE Wisconsin economy, our history and our lives. It is critical to the wellbeing of the region. It plays an important role in the transportation of goods and commodities nationally and globally for Wisconsin enterprises in an efficient and environmentally friendly manner.

3. Cargo COAL (600-800,000 mt/yr) LIMESTONE (450-500,000 mt/yr)

4. Cargo SALT (200-300,000 mt/yr) CEMENT (300-400,000 mt/yr)

5. Cargo LIQUID ASPHALT (30-60,000 mt/yr) PIG IRON (15-30,000 mt/yr)

6. Cargo TALLOW (15-30,000 mt/yr) FUEL OIL (30-75,000 mt/yr)

7. Cargo FOREST PRODUCTS (30-60,000 mt/yr) Other Commodities: Stone, Gypsum, Equipment, etc…

8. Port of Green Bay’s Economic Impact* • Commercial vessel arrivals 174 • Family-wage jobs 621 • Income from jobs $27 million • Regional economic impact $75 million • Value of cargo $315 million • Taxes (State and Local) $5.3 million • Tourists & boatwatchers Many *2008 Economic Impact Report by Bay-Lake Regional Planning Commission

9. Environmental challenges with Marine Transportation

10. Environmental Challenges NOx, SOx, CO2, Particulate Matter Speed Dust CFC’S Toxic Metals Halon Noise VOC Paint Light Garbage Ship Recycling Cargo Hold Residues Particles and oily water Ballast Water Antifouling paint Sewage

11. Environmental Challenges • Dust, noise, light & odour • Sewage / waste • Storm water runoff • Air emissions • Cargo residue • Dredging and sediments

12. Environmental Opportunities in Marine Transportation

13. Efficient and Environmentally Friendly! • Fewer emissions / better air quality • Less fuel consumption • Fewer accidents and less highway congestion

14. Transportation Efficiencies Coal Vessel Jumbo Railcar Large Semi-Truck 18,000 Tons 100 Tons 26 Tons 1 Coal Vessel 18,000 Tons 7,116 gallons / fuel 1 ton of emissions 180 Railcars 18,000 Tons 36,360 gallons 11 tons 692 Trucks 18,000 Tons 110,700 gallons 16 tons = =

15. 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

16. Sustainability Efforts in Marine Transportation

17. 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

18. Green Marine Program • 6 priority issues: • Invasive species • GHGs • Air emissions • Cargo residue • Oily water • Dust, light, noise

19. New communications initiative

20. New communications initiative Key messages - • Wedeliver critical cost efficiency to many major industries • We already deliver environmental benefits, like GHG performance, and • We are committed to delivering further environmental improvements

21. 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.

22. 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)
