Four businesses are being honoured by the Prince Rupert Port Authority for their efforts to mitigate the Port’s environmental impacts.
This year, a total of 168 vessel calls met the stringent criteria to participate in the Green Wave environmental incentive program.
That program rewards shippers for voluntarily investing in sustainable practices, such as controlling air emissions, and reducing underwater noise levels.
Each year, the Port recognizes the top performers in the program through their Green Wave Awards.
This year’s awardees include COSCO Shipping Lines, the MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company, Navigator Gas LLC, and BC Ferries.
In order to qualify for the awards, companies must meet additional criteria, including a high score on RightShip’s Greenhouse Gas Emissions Ratings.
In 2021, a total of 28 vessel calls ranked high enough on that scale to qualify for the awards.
