The Port of Felixstowe, Harwich International Port and London Thamesport will be pursuing a “whole range of initiatives to improve its environmental performance”, said the company.
These include an ‘Eco-RTG’ project to reduce emissions from its fleet of rubber-tyred gantry cranes by up to 50%, smart crane lighting to improve energy efficiency of its 24-hour operations, and a car-sharing scheme for employees.
Added David Gledhill, chief executive of HPUK: “In addition to reducing our own footprint, we are investing in rail to provide low carbon options beyond the port, and working with our customers and tenants to supply port-centric logistic solutions.”
