Making a significant impact. Reducing Emissions with InnovativeTruck Reservation SystemsOur industry-leading truck reservation systems remove 32,500 tonnes of CO2 from the air annually by decreasing idling time – the equivalent of taking 6,900 cars off the road. The system also helps reduce local congestion and noise and light pollution.
GCT Bayonne Wetlands ProtectionDuring the recent expansion project at GCT Bayonne, we created new tidal wetlands and preserved 6.5 hectares (16 acres) of adjacent land along the Hackensack River.
Shore Power The introduction of shore power at GCT Deltaport not only eliminates up to ninety-five tonnes of air pollutants per year per vessel, it also reduces wear and tear on ships, resulting in less downtime. Vessels using shore power at GCT Deltaport also qualify for special harbor rates through the EcoAction program.
Safer Work EnvironmentsThe introduction of semi-automated machinery, remote operations centers, and redesigned traffic flows at GCT Bayonne and GCT Deltaport have created a safer environment for our workforce and supply chain partners by reducing human and machine interactions.
Decoupling Emissions Growth from Volume HandledAs the largest tenant of the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, GCT Canada has reduced their absolute emissions by 10% compared to the 2014 baseline year, proving that it is possible to decouple business growth from emissions growth.
Giving Back to the CommunityGCT believes in giving back to the communities that we live, play, and work in and proudly support many local organizations from sports teams and youth development organizations to Chamber of Commerce events and local food banks.
Certifications & Awards As part of our mission to go and above and beyond, GCT actively participatesin voluntary third- party certification programs and is recognized by many awards.
