WASTE & SPILL PREVENTION
SITEWIDE QUICK LINKS
MARINE ROPE COLLECTION
We installed eight rope collection bins on Port property to collect and recycle marine rope that would otherwise end up in the landfill or ocean. We collaborate with all our stakeholders to ensure the success of this program. This program was a runner-up in the World Ports Sustainability Program in 2021.
OFFICE WASTE PROGRAM
Following a waste audit in 2018, our corporate office implemented a program that drastically reduced the amount of waste going to landfills through reduction measures like recycling and composting.
MICROPLASTIC RESEARCH
ACAP Saint John completed a microplastic survey of the harbour using a Port Saint John vessel, captain and storage space. We are happy to support this work through in-kind donations of our assets when it aligns with our sustainability goals.
SPILL PREVENTION
Port Saint John’s health safety and environment program includes rigorous spill prevention procedures, and we have invested heavily in spill prevention kits and equipment. In their orientation, we train our contractors on spill prevention, which is part of our inspection processes.
