PortOfHoustonGreen Turnaround at Port of Houston

The Port of Houston is the first port in the United States certified according to the environmental standard ISO 14001. Other ports are expected to follow as focus sharpens on green transportation.

The Port of Houston is the sixth largest in the world, a few hours sailing time from the Gulf of Mexico. More than 7,000 vessels call at the port every year, carrying some 200 million tons of cargo.

Environmental concern for transportation is on the international agenda, and ports are part of it, says Port of Houstons environmental affairs manager Laura W. Fiffick. We believe implementing an environmental system is a good opportunity to prove we are on the right track. In this, as in most businesses, it is a must to be proactive and prepared for the future.

The Port of Houston has been part of a pilot project in the U.S., in which the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has selected 14 municipal entities to implement an environmental management system during 2002. The Barbours Cut Container Terminal and Central Maintenance Facility are now ISO 14001 certified by DNV.
