CO₂ per TEU is down 18% since 2020.

Throughput is up 9% over the same period, so the absolute reduction is larger than the per-TEU number suggests. The biggest single contributor has been cold-ironing on every container berth at Harbor Point and Coastal Reach.

What changed

Three levers, in order of impact.

  1. 01

    The biggest single contributor has been cold-ironing on every container berth at Harbor Point and Coastal Reach, which removes the auxiliary diesel load from alongside calls.

  2. 02

    Equipment electrification is the next lever. The yard crane fleet at Harbor Point and Coastal Reach is now fully electric; the gate tractors and internal transport vehicles are 46% electric and 8% hybrid.

  3. 03

    Throughput is up 9% over the same period, so the absolute CO₂ reduction is larger than the per-TEU number suggests.

Next steps

Where the next 10% comes from.

  • 2025

    Crosscurrent Strait shore power

    Cold-ironing on berths M1 and M6 removes the last at-berth diesel load at the multi-cargo terminal.

  • 2026

    Coastal Reach full electrification

    The remaining diesel yard tractors go electric with a 6 MW charging hub.

  • 2027

    Harbor Point berth extension

    The two new berths ship-to-shore cranes are fully electric from day one.
