Global transport needs sustainable ports – LNG as part of greenports

Technologies of the Future: Challenges for Ships and Harbors regarding environmental Compliance

(1) No alternative to maritime transport (2) The need for reduction of impacts (3) greenports-Strategy as model-case of bremenports (4) Implementation of LNG: Challenging Task

Hamburg, June 3rd 2015

(1) No Alternative to Maritime Transport

2010

90 % of international trade is seaborne !

❖ Necessary for rising transport volumes ❖ Highest energy-efficiency ❖ Lowest emission per transport-mile

2030

(2) The need for reduction of impacts

Limited natural capacity: !➢ Emission ➢ Resource-availability ➢ Climate Change as a global disaster !!!

Economic reaction on growing population with higher consumption:

➢ Corporate social responsibility ➢ Efficiency strategies

(3) greenports-Strategy as model-case of bremenports Purpose of sustainable strategy

port indus

Safeguard the future of the ports in Bremen & Bremerhaven !by developments, following the Principles of Sustainability, that means in an !» economic » ecological and » social !responsible way.

Pressure / Demand:

SOCIAL !» Resource consumption » Climate protection » Integrated management

concepts » Community involvement » Cooperation “German Ports”

ECOLOGICAL !» Land consumption » Loss of Bio-diversity » Water, Air, Noise, and

Light pollution » Dredging impacts

ECONOMIC » Possibilities to grow » Efficient & secure

procedures » service quality at its best » 100% port availability » Innovations

➢ Sustainability strategy “greenports“TM (2009) ➢ Sustainability Reports acc. GRI (2013 & 2014)

➢ Environmental Management: PERS-Certificates (2011 & 2014)

➢ Habitat creation & management (> 20% habitat infrastructure)

➢ Sustainable water-depth-management

➢ Implementation of alternative fuels (LNG-Hopper-Barge)

➢ ESI-discount on harbor dues (greenports Award)

➢ Carbon Footprint Studies

➢ Monitoring systems (e.g. Noise at the Container terminal)

➢ port future concept 2020/25 addresses also sustainability

!Long term objectives: ➢ CO2-neutral port / CO2-efficient port

➢ Supply chain concepts

➢ Renewable Hydrogen as fuel for maritime use
