Port Air Assessment in Canada –
Summary timeline Public perception of marine and port emissions in Canada
• Ports within larger metropolitan areas receive greater attention from
government and public
• Media reports note increasing ship emissions, ‘dirty’ fuels used (2000
– 2005)
• Metro Vancouver in particular
‘Gateway’ Port Developments
• Canadian Pacific ports (Metro Vancouver, Prince Rupert)
• Evaluation of potential options and infrastructure (e.g., short sea
shipping)
• Environmental performance valued by those receiving goods through
the transportation chain
Canadian Port Assessments Begin
• Port Metro Vancouver ‘Landside Emissions Inventory’ (2005)
• Port of Montreal Emissions Inventory, 2007
What is a ‘Port Emissions Inventory’?
An activity-based accounting of
emissions from the significant
(mobile) sources under the
influence of a port

• Rail
• Cargo Handling Equipment
• Trucking
• Admin
Common Air Contaminants (CACs),
GHGs, air toxics

Port Boundaries
Operational basis – no dependence on land
ownership or corporate relationships
• All facilities engaged in marine trade
Distinct geographical boundaries
• Terminal/Facility boundary
• Port Boundary
• (optional) Airshed Boundary
Activities and Emissions allocated by source
group to each boundary
Port Emissions Inventory Protocol
Development (2009, updated 2012)
Included Components:
• Methods of port emissions assessment by
source group (marine, rail, truck, cargo
handling equipment, Administration)
• Available tools and data sets
• Available port data (commodity, forecasts)
• Supports development of performance
metrics
(e.g., tonnes emission / TEU)
Ports Model Internal Datasets – equipment
identification, emission calculations
Marine Vessel
• Lloyd Sea web (vessel Identification, engines)
• Emissions Data (e.g., IVL ship emission test data)
Vehicle
• U.S. EPA ‘Mobile’ emission rates and engine emission standards
Cargo Handling Equipment
• U.S. EPA ‘Nonroad’ emission rates and engine tier standards
Rail
• Locomotive emissions test data and U.S. EPA tier emission standards
Admin
• Boiler emission rates, etc

Port Metro Vancouver Example (2010
inventory completed in 2012)
• Over 100 Port-related facilities
• Located throughout the Lower
Fraser Valley of British
Columbia
• Facilities exist on a mix of
private and port land (although
most have a waterfront lease
from the Port)
• Participation voluntary (lease
agreements do not require
provision of information)
Port Montreal Example (2007 inventory
completed in 2008)
• Inland port on St. Lawrence
River
• 15 terminals
• Located on Port lands
• Port operates one terminal as
well as a port rail network
• Participation voluntary (lease
agreements do not require
provision of information)
In simplest form, an emissions inventory is an annual summary of
emissions for the port operations (baseline and forecasts).

operations

• Equipment replacement:
• Dockside cranes, yard locomotives
• Equipment retrofits:
• Diesel oxidation catalysts, particulate filters
• Alternative fuels:
• Low sulphur diesel, biodiesel and biodiesel blends
• Port infrastructure
• Shoreside power (cold ironing)
• Logistical programs:
• Truck reservation systems, transport corridors, short sea shipping,
intermodal centers
A port inventory can also be very detailed, including fuel use and
emissions by individual engine/unit.
This supports evaluation of potential scenarios, such as

such as Green Marine GHG requirements. Inventory
products will be supplied to ports/terminals as requested
• Port tenant engagement has begun and will continue
through 2012
Canadian Port Emissions Inventory
Model - Summary
Convenient tool for consistency among Canadian ports
• Serves complementary programs – port environmental reporting as well as
larger programs such as Green Marine
• Allows port authorities to assist their tenants with emission reduction
projects, including applying for financial support
• Emissions and energy tracking over time
• Efficient means of supporting terminal development/expansion
• (new) facilitates energy planning decisions (further electrification,
alternative fuels, logistical changes)
