Savannah touts sustainability
04 Apr 2008
Georgia Ports Authority has announced that an upgrade to one of its container berths at the Port of Savannah is now complete, with installation of electrified refrigerated cargo racks, and transfer of GPA’s 17 ship-to-shore cranes to electric power.
The $11.6m Container Berth 2 upgrade project included the use of 12,200 tonnes, or 24 acres, of recycled concrete material.
“Not only did we eliminate the need to
import quarried stone but also the need to dispose of it,” said Doug J Marchand,
GPA’s executive director. “Emission reduction from this project alone is
significant.”
