Arctic Directory: Crowley recognized for clean air commitment

Crowley Maritime Corp. said Aug. 5 that its efforts to significantly reduce carbon emissions at the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach were recognized during the third annual San Pedro Bay Ports Clean Air Action Plan Air Quality luncheon. The Clean Air Award recognizes companies who make great strides to reduce pollutant emissions at both ports. Committee members from the ports, as well as representatives from several governmental agencies reviewed all nominations, before choosing Crowley for its Significant Early Action to Reduce Emissions Award. “Crowley is committed to environmental stewardship in all the communities it serves. Over the past several years, the company has been involved in several emissions and energy-saving initiatives in this region, including the installation of shore-side power and four tug engine repowers,” said Bill Metcalf, Crowley’s director of engineering. “Those initiatives will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by more than 486,180 pounds, particulate matter emissions by 3.24 tons and mono-nitrogen oxides by 109.52 tons this year alone.”
