Planning for a Green Port on a Great Lake


The Port of Cleveland is working to become a “Green Port on a Great Lake.” The Port is committed to moving cargo more efficiently using the St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes. Waterborne transportation can be cheaper, faster, safer and “greener.”

The American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) is committed to making waterborne transportation more sustainable. AAPA has embraced the concept of sustainability as a standard business practice for ports and the association The Port of Cleveland is working on the establishment of an Environmental & Sustainability Council that will advise and guide the port towards the adoption of AAPA’s Principles and a Port of Cleveland Environmental & Sustainability Policy.

Recently, the Port of Cleveland earned a Green Marine Certification .
