Introduction Click to edit Master title Globally, entities are increasingly turning to the ocean for new opportunities. By 2030, ocean industries value add is expected to increase from USD 1.5 trillion in 2010 to 3 trillion with these industries providing approximately 9 million full time equivalents in additional employment (OECD 2016). A large portion of marine resources remain unexplored around the world, and many believe that solutions to the world’s challenges of sufficient food production and need for medicine lies hidden under the surface, hence there is a widespread belief that future sources of growth depends on effective utilization of these ocean resources.

A key question is how to achieve high economic growth while maintaining a healthy balance between resource exploitation and sustainability? Another important question is how we can ensure that initiatives across the maritime sector support sustainable growth and a dedicated focus aligned with Washington’s Maritime Strategy.

To find a balance between resource use and its sustainability the concept of Blue Economy should be prioritized. According to the World Bank, the Blue Economy is sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods and jobs, and ocean ecosystem health. It works to allow a balance of productive and sustainable engagement with the vast development opportunities that oceanic resources offer.

To ensure that all sector initiatives are implemented effectively across the State of Washington, a dedicated focus is needed which can be driven forward by a cluster organization. It is important to view all the firms and organizations in the maritime industry in Washington State as one interlinked mechanism. Resources are needed to support the strengthening of collaboration, networking and learning for the industry and other cluster participants.

Maritime cluster organizations have been set up around the world to facilitate strategic partnerships and collaboration leading to a competitive advantage. In order to provide insights and lessons learned for Washington State to draw from, these cluster organizations and have been documented in this appendix.

To spearhead Washington’s Maritime Blue Economy, a strategic framework has been developed, with a vision and supporting strategic goals, and five defined pathways intended to guide the state towards the goals: Deep Decarbonization, Blue Innovation, Working Waterfronts, Workforce Development and Cluster Coordination. It is useful to learn from other leading maritime nations; specifically from countries on a journey towards establishing a blue economy by engaging in innovation and sustainable initiatives. Hence, a benchmarking was carried out to capture leading initiatives and specific case studies worldwide that Washington State could draw from. These are also documented in this appendix.

Cluster Click to Concept edit Master title A cluster is a geographic concentration of inter-connected companies, specialized suppliers, service providers, firms in related industries, and associated institutions (e.g. universities, standards agencies, and trade associations) in a particular field that compete but also cooperate (source: Porter, 2000, p.16).

The figure below shows the depiction of Washington State’s maritime cluster which is a diverse industry comprised of six sub-clusters.

Click Cluster to Concept edit Master title The cluster concept has been recognized as an important accelerator of economic growth and regional & national competitiveness in the U.S. Clusters are pivotal to the economy as traded industries located in clusters are innovation and growth drivers of an economy.

According to the Cluster Mapping Project, developed by Harvard Business School and the US Economic Development Association, the country has traded clusters in 51 different sectors. Most of these clusters are represented by public and/or private organizations (e.g.

Federal Agencies, Industry Associations, etc.) that aim to promote competitiveness and innovation in each respective sector.

It is observed that access to private funding (e.g assistance in connecting to investors, seed-capital, venture-capital, crowd-funding, etc.) in other sectors is widely available in the U.S.; whereas access to public funding can be relatively limited.

The Silicon Valley Cluster can be used as the most successful example to demonstrate the interaction between startups, large corporations, local governments, and world class universities creating trillions of dollars in wealth and redefining daily life through inventions including the smartphone (Apple), streaming home video (Netflix), and online social networking (Facebook).

An EU-US Cooperation Arrangement on Clusters was signed on 22 April 2015 between the U.S. Department of Commerce and the European Commission to boost transatlantic cluster cooperation. The New England Water Innovation Network participated as the first U.S. cluster organization successfully achieving a Bronze Label of the ESCA. The Cluster Labelling Scheme has been adopted by the U.S.

What makes clusters successful?

1.

Critical mass matters: the more companies there are in a certain set of industries, the more likely it is that higher levels of productivity and innovation will be achieved

2.

Related industries matter: companies need to engage with suppliers, service providers, and other partners from a range of related industries in order to be successful

3.

Location matters: companies can and need to work with partners in many locations to access the technologies and supplies they need from the best possible sources.

4.

Linkages matter: while many of the benefits from proximity with companies in related fields occur ‘automatically’, companies can do better if they create an environment that supports active collaboration

Click to Initiatives Cluster edit Master title Cluster initiatives are set up as a central feature of a cluster organization to improve growth & competitiveness of a cluster. The effectiveness of identifying and implementing the right cluster initiatives are critical to the success of clusters.

What is a cluster initiative?

A cluster initiative is an organized effort aimed at fostering the development of the cluster either by strengthening the potential of cluster actors or shaping relationships between them. They often have a character like a regional network. Cluster initiatives usually are managed by cluster organizations.

Cluster Initiatives often:

 emerge from projects & industry collaborations providing a platform for cooperation, which are converted into formal structures after 12 to 36 months.  are led by a cluster organization, which initiates and strengthens joint activities among its members related to a desired objective: e.g. innovation (new technology, new business model, and new processes), networking, influencing the business environment and HR upgrading.

There are broadly two approaches towards identifying and implementing cluster initiatives, a Top-Down (TD) Approach and a Bottom-Up (BU) Approach:

Cluster Initiative Approach

TOP DOWN (TD) APPROACH  Initiative(s) induced by government that aims at targeting current and future industry strongholds in a given location  Funded with the governmental budgets which are far higher than BU because they include the overall budgets of the government administration, R&D and innovation, and/or maritime education programs (eg. Germany, Denmark, Singapore)

BOTTOM - UP (BU) APPROACH  Strategic initiatives promoted by leading firms and/or sector associations in their marketplaces and industries/sectors  Mainly financed by private means, through membership contributions & own resources (eg. Maritme Forum in Norway, SSA in Singapore)

Washington’s Strategy for the Blue Economy | January 2019 Appendix B

Cluster Click to Organization edit Master title Cluster organizations are entities that support the strengthening of collaboration, networking and learning in industry clusters and act as providers of innovation support by providing or channeling specialized and customized business support services to stimulate innovation activities, especially in SMEs. There are several different definitions, but we’ve included the ESCA definition due to the Cooperation Arrangement on Clusters that was signed on 22 April 2015 between the U.S. Department of Commerce and the European Commission.

European Secretariat for Cluster Analysis (ESCA)-definition: A cluster management organization is a management agency that stimulates and coordinates the activities of cluster participants. The cluster management organization is mandated by the cluster participants to represent the cluster, both internally and externally, and to develop and implement activities that support the development of the cluster.

Service offerings are the key instruments of a cluster organization The services provided by a Cluster Organization varies depending on the density of the cluster and their priorities. Key activities are typically as follows:  Provide internationalization support (Access to oversees markets; activities that support members operating in global markets)  Develop competence and attract talents and investors  Stimulate technology development  Create new entrepreneurs and grow business  Improve work and production processes  Provide access to public support (regional/national programs, innovation vouchers, etc.)  Offer direct advisory services to its members  Facilitate collaboration between members  Provide promotion of cluster activities (marketing/visibility/outreach)  Increase and measure innovation within the cluster  Strengthen and document the knowledge base  Increase cluster attractiveness for investors and new recruitments  Strengthen the cluster´s resource base

Click to Organization Cluster edit Master title Cluster organizations are truly public-private partnerships. The public-private partnership status is also underlined by the fact that typically 40% of funding comes from private sector with 60% from contribution from the public. Having formal membership is strongly associated with financial sustainability and improved collaboration among firms.

Cluster initiatives with large staffs perform better in every aspect, both internally and externally.

Having a dedicated cluster website is strongly associated with many performance measures.

Cluster initiatives with a website perform better in terms of innovation, competitiveness, meeting deadlines and goals, being financially sustainable and attracting new members than the very few that do not have a website. They are also better at improving collaboration with other clusters and global markets.

Public-private partnerships Staff size Financial sustainability Intense networking & bottomup cooperation Number of initiatives Dedicated Website Online collaboration platform (e.g., one tested in EU)

Key Observations

Cluster organizations globally are established with different structures, forms, sizes and follow various set of priorities; and therefore, it is not feasible to provide a universal definition that will be common to each cluster organization. In some occasions, trade/sector associations act as a form of cluster organization that connect different stakeholders together under one umbrella in order to archive their common objectives. It’s also recognized that formation of highly successful cluster organizations can be done as a result of government induced programs (e.g. NCE in Norway).

The EU further describes cluster organizations as “structures or organized groups of independent parties (such as innovative start-ups, small, medium and large enterprises, as well as research and knowledge dissemination organizations, non-for-profit organizations and other related economic actors) designed to stimulate innovative activity by promoting sharing of facilities and exchange of knowledge and expertise and by contributing effectively to knowledge transfer, networking, information dissemination and collaboration among the undertakings and other organizations in the cluster” [source: ESCA].

Cluster Organization Click to edit Master title Benchmarking DNV GL looked at cluster organizations in Norway, Germany, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Denmark, United Kingdom and the United States. The goal was to identify organization models and development initiatives for Maritime Blue.

The review focused on eight key industry sectors, shown below: Commercial Fishing & Seafood

Shipping & Logistics

Passenger Vessel Operators

Workforce Development, Education and Training

Shipyards, Repair and Maintenance

Recreational Boating and Boat Building

Maritime Support Services

Ocean Science Technology

Findings DNV GL found cluster organizations are the center of cluster development and designed to boost collaboration between various industry participants. Having benchmarked the seven chosen countries, DNV GL grouped cluster organizations into three types: dedicated, semidedicated and informal, described in detail below.

Dedicated Cluster Organization This is an industry-led organization with full-time administration /management team (e.g., usually between 4-15 professionals plus support staff) solely focused on cluster development activities/initiatives (e.g. as can be seen in Norwegian cluster programs in NCE, GCE). Other characteristics include: • Typically linked with inception through government induced programs • Government is a strong financial supporter • Have a formalized strategy Semi-Dedicated Cluster Organization An organization with full-time management team that performs cluster development and initiatives among other associated activities (e.g., Trade/Sector Association, Singaporean Ship Owners Association, Maritime governmental entities such as the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA), Dubai Maritime City Authority).

Key characteristics are that it is led by industry and/or government, with government agencies providing financial support.

Washington’s Strategy for the Blue Economy | January 2019 Appendix B

10

Cluster Organization Click to edit Master title Benchmarking Informal Cluster Organization These clusters have no dedicated cluster organization or office, only a form of committee, led by a secretariat. The members are appointed by the government among the industry stakeholders or lead by an individual Committees or Council (e.g. the Dubai Council for Marine and Maritime Industries, Maritime London, Green Ship of the Future in Denmark).

Key characteristics of informal cluster organizations are that they are industry led and have limited public support and funding.

The objectives of cluster organizations tend to be aligned with the national and regional strategy of the country. Depending on the jurisdiction and the local requirements and industry needs, the cluster organizations are structured differently. Their key characteristics broadly fall across maturity, membership, concentration and financing.

Cluster Organization Click to edit Master title Benchmarking Key Characteristics of Cluster Organizations Maturity The earliest dedicated cluster organizations started as support programs in Germany in the late 1990s followed by Denmark & Norway. Cluster policy in other countries has developed later in the 2000s.

The majority of benchmarked cluster organizations relied heavily on public funding in their early phases.

Membership Members make written and financial commitments to cooperation and cluster organization programs (this may also include “in-kind� contribution or/and staff working time).

The quality of the defined activities and participation (e.g., through project participation, workshops or working groups) is also important.

Concentration The closer participating companies are located to each other, the higher chance that interaction and mutual trust between them is developed.

On average, EU clusters that were benchmarked show a high regional density of at least 75%.

Financing Many cluster organizations depend to a large extent on public funding to finance staff and other fixed resources, such as offices and equipment.

The share of public funds in total budget of cluster organizations vary in different countries, for example: in Denmark it can reach up to 60%, in Germany - 50% and in Norway can go as high as 80%.

Clusters that are managed by a strong and active cluster organization tend to perform better. Financial support of cluster organizations typically depends on their performance, and only well managed cluster organizations tend to receive sustained financial support.

Click to edit Master title Air Quality: Ship Exhaust Scrubbing as an Alternative to Cold Ironing Background When berthed, ships require electricity to support activities like loading, unloading, heating and lighting, cargo refrigeration, and other on board activities. This power is generally provided by auxiliary engines and boilers that emit carbon dioxide (CO2) and air pollutants, affecting local air quality and ultimately the health of both port workers and nearby residents. The same holds for noise nuisance.

Description of the Solution / Technology As an alternative to cold ironing (which is a process where ships shut off their diesel-powered engines and use shorebased power for their electrical needs, preventing and/or significantly reducing harmful emissions during each port visit), specialized barges (or shore-based system) can be used by connecting to the exhaust vents of ocean-going vessels (especially container ships) to scrub pollution.

AMECS – Advanced Maritime Emissions Control System, also known as "Baghouse System“, consists of ECS (Exhaust Capture System) and ETS (Emissions Treatment System) and can also be used by non-regular ships whilst on dock. AMECS is approved by CARB as a certified alternative to cold ironing which allows ships not equipped with shore power to achieve cold ironing compliance.

Unlike shore power, AMECS does not require any modification to the ship, and does not require major power system infrastructure upgrades that are associated with shore power. AMECS patented “direct connect” technology safely connects to each vessel exhaust port to provide 100% exhaust gas capture. Barge-based system can be moved from vessel to vessel to remove criteria pollutants from the vessel’s exhaust gas while the vessel is hoteling. Continuous emissions monitoring provides assurance to regulatory agencies that pollutants are being removed.

Results / Gains • Proven emissions reductions: 95% PM, 99% NOX, 99% SOX, 99% VOCs • Less expensive than shore power • No vessel or berth retrofit required • Eliminates ship blackout concerns associated w/ grid • Rapid connection • Can handle multiple exhaust ports at the same time • Same emission reductions regardless of fuel type used Costs AMECS is less expensive than OPS and requires no vessel or berth retrofit Timeline N/A Relevance to WA WA has an ambition to significantly reduce DPM (diesel particulate matter) and GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions by 2020.

Provider of AMECS In 2013, Port of Long Beach provided about $2 million in seed money to help test AMECS. Advanced Cleanup Technologies Inc. (ACTI) can market AMECS to vessel operators as an alternative to container ships plugging into the electrical grid to reduce emissions while at berth.

Container and cruise ships must significantly reduce atberth emissions to meet state regulations, but the existing “shore power” option requires retrofits to each vessel.

Monitored by Emissions in ports are monitored by U.S. EPA. Pollutants’ monitoring by AMECS. Implemented in USA (technology approved by CARB to achieve cold ironing compliance).

Click to edit Master title Air Quality: Cold ironing with Onshore Power Supply (OPS) Background When berthed, ships require electricity to support activities like loading, unloading, heating and lighting and other on board activities. Today, this power is generally provided by auxiliary engines that emit carbon dioxide (CO2) and air pollutants, affecting local air quality and ultimately the health of both port workers and nearby residents. The same holds for noise nuisance.

Description of the Program Cold ironing is a process where ships shut off their dieselpowered engines and use shore-based power for their electrical needs, preventing and/or significantly reducing harmful emissions during each port visit. In this way ships’ operations can proceed uninterrupted, while eliminating negative side-effects. Electricity can be from renewable sources, or cleaner fuels like LNG. Mechanisms to Set Up Tougher environmental legislation, greater focus on emissions in ports from shipping and rising fuel prices are factors pushing ports to consider cold ironing. The European Commission issued a recommendation stating that "Member States should consider the installation of shore-side electricity for use by ships at berth in ports; particularly in ports where air quality limit values are exceeded or where public concern is expressed about high levels of noise nuisance, and especially in berths situated near residential areas“. There is an EU directive which requires all ports in the 28-member bloc to make shore power available by 2025. In California, its Air Resources Board (CARB) adopted a regulation in 2007 to reduce emissions from diesel auxiliary engines on ships while atberth for container, cruise and reefer vessels. Port authorities and governments may subsidize the project costs, which could be a public-private collaboration.

Results / Gains • Reduced emission of air pollutants, CO2, noise and vibration • Shore power cuts air pollution from ships at berth by 95% • Can remove as much as 1,000 pounds of diesel exhaust pollutants during a single port call of a typical container ship Costs • •

Quayside: US$ 300,000 to 4 million per berth, depending various factors Shipside: US$ 300,000 to 2 million, depending on various factors

Timeline N/A Relevance toResults WA / Gains WA has an ambition to significantly reduce DPM (diesel particulate matter) and GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions by 2020.

To build up a clear and comprehensive idea of the potential for cold ironing at a particular port requires input from many different parties. A working group comprising experts and representatives from different stakeholders (e.g. port authority, targeted shipping lines (frequentcallers), terminal operator, local community, suppliers of electricity and automation technology, environmental engineers) should discuss the issue and create a wellfounded business case.

Monitored by Emissions in ports are monitored by U.S. EPA. Implemented in Belgium, Canada, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, USA (incl. WA State partially).

Click to edit Master title Air Quality: Emissions reduction from Cargo Handling Equipment (CHE) Background Vessels arrive and depart ports around the clock, which mean equipment and machinery at these ports are always operating. Cargo handling equipment, together with the trucks that are coming to port to pick up or discharge cargo, is the second largest source of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in ports. Cargo handling equipment at ports generally include yard tractors, cranes, forklifts, container handlers (e.g. top picks and side picks), and bulk handling equipment, such as tractors, loaders, dozers, excavators, and backhoes. Among these equipment types, yard tractors, container handlers, and forklifts are the most common types of equipment at ports.

Description of the Program To reduce the amount of pollutants emitted from ports, ports are beginning to retrofit these cargo handling equipment types with emissions control systems, replace older equipment with newer cleaner equipment, or use cleaner fuel technologies, such as electrification.

Mechanisms to Set Up Such programs are usually self-funded by the port terminals and port authorities and/or service providers. However, governmental grants might also be available. For example, the Port of Los Angeles secured a $5.8 million state grant to purchase and test a new fleet of 25 zero and near-zero emission yard tractors at its container terminal. The grant will also fund a companion project to equip 100 more drayage trucks with smart technology aimed at reducing emissions by streamlining their time on the road and improving the flow of containers to and from the port complex. This grant was by the California Energy Commission (CEC), which supports freight transportation projects at California seaports under its Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program. The purpose is to advance commercialization of clean fuels and technologies that cut greenhouse gas emissions, reduce petroleum use and improve the health and quality of life of communities disproportionately burdened by environmental pollution.

Results / Gains • Yard hostlers with hydraulic hybrid technology are expected to achieve 60-70% improvement in fuel economy and a 40% reduction in emissions.

• Electric trucks can be 4-9 times cheaper to operate than diesel trucks, depending on fuel costs and operating conditions Costs • •

Electric yard hostler: $189,950 Electric truck: $208,500

Timeline N/A Relevance to WA WA has an ambition to significantly reduce DPM (diesel particulate matter) and GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions by 2020.

Monitored by Emissions in ports are monitored by U.S. EPA. Implemented in Canada, Singapore and USA (incl. WA State partially).

Click to edit Master title Hybrid-Electric and Fully-Electric Electrification Background Concern over air pollution emissions from marine engines is motivating new comparisons between ferries and other transportation modes in terms of both mobility and air pollution.

Description of the Initiative With a growing number of initiatives focusing on electrification and the green transition, it is entirely technologically possible to replace diesel engines with battery-powered electric motors.

One of the other incentives for switching to hybrid and fully electric maritime vessels has been the dramatic drop in lithium-ion (li-ion) battery cell costs. (Prices have fallen 75% in Norway.)

Results / Gains • A purely battery driven ferry (100% electrification) can reduce fuel costs by 30-80% • Hybrid-powered ferries can achieve savings in fuel costs by 10-30% Costs NOK 144 million – Ampere NOK 65 million – Fjord Timeline

Mechanisms to Set Up Vision of the Fjords: The Norwegian government has pledged NOK 65 million towards the construction of several new green vessels and ferries.

N/A Relevance to WA Reduces emissions.

Ampere: The project is the result of a competition launched by Norway’s Ministry of Transport and Communications in 2011 to develop an environment-friendly, ferry Norled won the competition, which granted the company the concession rights to operate in the route through to 2025.

Implemented in Norway, Sweden, Netherland, Scotland, Canada and Denmark.

Click to edit Master title Hybrid Tug: E-KOTUG Background Harbor Tugs only use their full power 2% of the time.

In over 60% of the operating hours the capacity is not even above 30% of full power. Because the engines do not run in the so called “design area”, more fuel consumption and emissions are the result. With a hybrid configuration, the use of one generator set will be sufficient to sail on low power. The E-KOTUG decreases significantly the fuel consumption and reduces by about 50% the emissions of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particles. If the tugboat is sailing on the battery pack, there is almost no sound and there are completely no emissions. At the same time, huge cost savings can be made on the maintenance of the main engines. This is because the main engines are having 50% less operating hours.

Description of the Initiative KOTUG in collaboration with AKA in Canada, supplier of the Xeropoint Hybrid Propulsion System, developed a very eco friendly, fuel-saving tug boat, E-KOTUG. Based on the Rotor-Tug technology which consists of three diesel-driven azimuthing thrusters featuring 100% bollard pull over the bow and the stern, and extremely high maneuverability, KOTUG produced its hybrid version.

Mechanisms to Set Up The E-KOTUGs are modular built tugs with the following arrangement: three main engines on marine gasoil, two auxiliary engines on marine gasoil, three electric motors and a small pack of batteries. The three main engines will only run on full power during towing operations. When the main engines are running, the electromotor in each driveline will turn into a power take off system and charge the battery pack. The electric propulsion can be powered by generators and/or batteries. When alongside, the EKOTUG can stay on the battery pack up to seven hours.

Click to edit Master title Autonomous Electric Barge: Port Liner Background The European Union is investing in Port Liner’s autonomous electric barges development as part of its initiative to improve port efficiency through innovative technology. The Dutch company Port Liner will be introducing the autonomous electric barges for the European market beginning in August of this year. Port Liner believes it could produce about 500 barges a year to revolutionize the freight industry, although the electric motors and batteries could also be retrofitted into older boats.

Description of the Initiative The 5 autonomous electric barges to be built will be operating between the De Kempen intermodal terminal in the Netherlands and Antwerp, Belgium. This will be a big boost for the industry’s green energy credentials. These barges will be the first in the world to sail on carbon-neutral batteries.

Mechanisms to Set Up The barges are designed to operate without any crew, although the vessels will be manned in their first period of operation as new infrastructure is erected around some of the busiest inland waterways in Europe. The batteries will be mounted in a container of their own, which means they can be used by existing vessels. This will allow the retrofitting of barges already in operation. Dubbed the “Tesla of the canals”, their electric motors will be driven by 20-foot batteries, charged on shore by the carbon-free energy provider Eneco, which sources solar power, windmills and renewables.

The barges will be fitted with a power box giving them 15 hours of power. As there is no need for a traditional engine room, the boats have up to 8% extra space.

Results / Gains • Impact on environment and costs • Zero CO2 emissions • Crewless vessels Costs $8.7million by EU $250,000 by Port of Antwerp Timeline First delivery August 2018 Relevance to WA WA can build upon existing battery technologies used in ferries and apply them to the building of barges.

Click to edit Master title World’s First All-Electric Commercial Fishing Vessel: Karoline Electric boats are especially advantageous in Norway, because the country generates its electricity exclusively from renewable sources, thus emitting no greenhouse gases. A new fishing cutter called the Karoline has been developed by boat builder Selfa Arctic AS, and it the world’s first all-electric commercial fishing vessel. Fishermen find it less strenuous to work on the Karoline than on conventional boasts, because the electric motor doesn’t produce exhaust gases, vibrations, and the noise associated with diesel engines.

Description of the Initiative Corvus Energy powered the world’s first electric commercial fishing vessel. A Corvus lithium polymer Energy Storage System (ESS) has been integrated with a Siemens propulsion system aboard the world’s first electric commercial fishing vessel designed and built by Selfa Arctic AS. While fishing the vessel will operate emissions free, eliminating all greenhouse gasses including CO2.

The boat will also generate less noise and vibration than a standard diesel engine powered fishing vessel. During the Karoline first 30 days of service its operators caught some 58,000 kg of fish, but it consumed only 0.04 liters of diesel per kilogram of fish, representing an 80-percent reduction in fuel consumption compared to conventional diesel-powered fishing cutters.

Results / Gains • Impact on environment and costs • Zero GHG, CO2 emissions • Costs savings from maintenance and operations • No noise load Costs xx Timeline Delivered 2015 Relevance to WA WA can develop similar technologies for the barges it produces and export them to larger vessels manufacturers.

Mechanisms to Set Up The fishing boat is designed to operate entirely on Corvus battery power over a planned ten hour working day. The boat’s main propulsion system is an electric motor that gets its energy from a set of batteries. When the boat is in port at night, its batteries are recharged with electricity from the local grid. As a precautionary measure, the boat is also equipped with an efficient diesel engine and an auxiliary 50kW electric generator.

Click to edit Master title Hybrid Fish Farm Support Vessel: DNV GL & The Green Coastal Shipping Program Background In 2015, the Norwegian maritime industry launched the DNV GL-led public private initiative, the Green Coastal Shipping Program. The idea was to encourage research and development of green technology concepts in the country’s shipping sector. One of the pilots targeted the aquaculture segment with an environmentally friendly fish farm support vessel. ABB worked with the Norwegian Coastal Shipowners Association and ship-owner Egil Ulvans Rederi on developing a hybrid battery powered concept that is safer, more cost effective, and environmentally beneficial.

Description of the Initiative The objective of the pilot project was to define how to best use a battery in combination with a combustion engine to make an energy efficient hybrid propulsion system. The risk of damage to cages in the case of a blackout is reduced, reducing potential insurance costs. The proposed concept vessel would be large enough to handle the more complex and demanding operations offshore that have come with the growing aquaculture sector.

Results / Gains • Impact on environment and costs • Lower CO2, NOx and SOx emissions • Costs savings from maintenance and fuel Costs xx Timeline Concept sent to shipyard in 2017 Relevance to WA WA can build upon existing hybrid technologies used in ferries and apply them to the building of fishing vessels.

Mechanisms to Set Up The concept is based on a 70-meter long vessel that can be converted to fit either a hybrid LNG and battery powered propulsion system or a diesel-plus-battery solution. Both concepts would cut down on NOx, SOx and CO2 emissions (240 tons/year). The vessel would rely on battery power to shave power peaks when loading and unloading at sea and absorb load changes from blasts and swells. A battery back-up solution would also create safer operations by reducing the risk of engine failure and serving as back up.

Click to edit Master title Fully Battery-Powered Fish Farm Workboat: GMV Zero Background The Norwegian shipbuilder Grovfjord Mechanical Workshops (GMV) has seen a growing need among its fish farming customers for sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions. Therefore they developed GMV Zero the world’s first electric fish farm workboat. Such a vessel will attract fish farmers wishing to have a green profile. The idea for GMV Zero originally started several years ago as a way to eliminate the exposure of the workers on board to carcinogenic diesel exhaust particle emissions. Since then, the prices of batteries have dropped dramatically and the number of fish farms along the Norwegian coast with electricity from the grid has increased to about 85% of all farm locations. Both factors have contributed to making 100% battery operation feasible.

Description of the Initiative GMV Zero has zero CO2 emissions, no NOx particle emissions, very low operating and maintenance costs and little or no noise load. The annual reduction of CO2 will be 90 tons and NOx will be lowered by 900kg. The expectations are that GMV Zero could save at least $24,000 per year in operational expenditures compared to a diesel-powered boat.

Results / Gains • Impact on environment and costs • Lower CO2, NOx, SOx and particle emissions • Costs savings from maintenance and operations • No noise load Costs xx Timeline Delivery in 2018 Relevance to WA WA can build upon existing hybrid technologies used in ferries and apply them to the building of fishing vessels.

Click to edit Master title Marine Habitat: Financial Incentives for Reduction of Underwater Noise Background While there are plenty of naturally occurring sounds in the ocean, an increase in commercial vessel traffic is the main reason for increased underwater noise. In the North Pacific Ocean, underwater noise has been doubling in intensity every decade for the past 60 years. Most underwater noise from large vessels is caused by propeller cavitation. Other sources of vessel underwater noise include engine and on board machinery; drag from poor hull maintenance; bow/stern thrusters.

Description of the Program The Enhancing Cetacean Habitat and Observation (ECHO) Program is a Vancouver Fraser Port Authority-led initiative aimed at better understanding and managing the impact of shipping activities on at-risk whales throughout the southern coast of British Columbia. The long-term goal of the ECHO Program is to develop mitigation measures that will lead to a quantifiable reduction in potential threats to whales as a result of shipping activities.

Mechanisms to Set Up In January 2017, Vancouver added a new incentive criteria to its existing EcoAction program to include harbor due rate discounts for quieter ships, making Canada the first country in the world with a marine noise reduction incentive.

The ECHO Program benefited from early input and advice from scientists, shipping industries, conservation and environmental groups, First Nations individuals and government agencies to help the program focus efforts and set goals and objectives. Funding contributors include Fraser River Pile and Dredge; Trans Mountain; Transport Canada; Vancouver Fraser Port Authority.

Open pen systems have a variety of problems such as sea lice which has increased cost of treatment.

Description of the Initiative Hauge offers the industry a fully contained system that targets to replace the large circular net pens used in today's typical site set-up. The closed structure can be easily transported to site and moored at existing facility. Inside the water circulation is upwards with automatic feeding and minimal spill. Easy cleaning of feces and gentle harvesting. The proposed 44-meter tall structure will hold up to 1,000 tons of salmon, the same volume of fish as a regular 50-meter wide net pen.

Mechanisms to Set Up It is designed to be supported by existing infrastructure such as the feed barge and electrical power. It is towed into the anchoring frame while still empty of water.

Click to edit Master title Green Wave: 3D Ocean Farming (Vertical Fish Farming) Aquaculture Background The number of fish farms are increasing in the industry and this creates an acreage issue. When many fish farms are clustered in an area pollution from the feces and feed can pollute the water and kill fishes.

Description of the Initiative A fisherman in Newoundland, Bren Smith came up with a solution. Horizontal ropes on the water’s surface, anchored to hurricane-proof floats, that connect to lines underwater supporting seaweed crops and interspersed with hanging net enclosures to grow scallops and mussels. Clam and oyster cages, also connected to the surface ropes, sit on the seafloor.

Mechanisms to Set Up Non for Profit organization, Greenwave ensure that 3D farming can be replicated. They have a “Farm Startup & Farmer Apprenticeship Program” that help farmers adopt this new kind of aquaculture.

Greenwave trains farmers and provide them with two years of support. (The 3D ocean farming model itself is open-source — anyone can use or build on it for free.) With about $20,000, a boat and a lease (which requires approvals from state regulators and the US Army Corps of Engineers) to farm 20 acres of near-shore seafloor, anyone can start a 3D ocean farm that produces 10 to 30 tons of kelp and 250,000 shellfish per acre in five months. Smith has also set up a parallel for-profit enterprise, which provides a market for seaweed crops and operates a commercial processing and distribution facility in New Haven, Connecticut. It promises to purchase 80 percent of seaweed harvests at triple the market rate from GreenWave farmers during their first five years in business.

Results / Gains • Produce 10-30 tons of kelp and 250,000 shellfish per acre in 5 months • Creates jobs • Kelp absorb up to five times the amount of carbon as land-based plants.

Click to edit Master title Snorkel Project: Norway Aquaculture Background A surge of parasitic sea lice are disrupting salmon farms by attaching themselves to the fish to feed on them. They usually kill the salmon or render them unsuitable for consumption. This has on the other hand led to an increase of wholesale salmon by almost 50%.

Description of the Initiative The Snorkel Project was developed on two fundamental principles: lice larvae are more abundant in surface waters and salmons have an open swim bladder and must swallow air in the surface to refill it. Taking these into consideration, a simple submerged sea cage which has a roof combined with surface access via a snorkel was developed (see picture). The sea cage keeps the salmon at a greater depth while the snorkel allows them to have access to the surface.

Mechanisms to Set Up At a depth of 3–4 meters inside the cage, netting is used to form a ceiling and a central cylindrical passage that extends above the surface of the water. This snorkel is covered by a tarpaulin or plankton cloth, securing a lice-free water passage through which the salmon can swim up to the surface to gulp some air.

Still in Trial Phase which looks positive so far Lice infestation reduced with depth with little adverse effect on fish growth and fish welfare.

Click to edit Master title Precision Seafood Harvesting (PSH) Aquaculture Background Traditional fishing nets catch a wide variety of fish sizes and species, meaning a catch can include high proportions of undesired fish or undersized fish, which cannot be processed or are hurt.

Description of the Initiative This radical new technique does away with traditional trawl nets. Instead, fish are contained and swim comfortably underwater inside a large flexible PVC liner, where the correct size and species can be selected before being brought on board the fishing vessel. The design of the harvesting system allows fishing vessels to target specific species and fish size, and greatly increases protection for small fish that can swim free through ‘escape portals’ and non-target fish (by-catch), which are released unharmed.

Mechanisms to Set Up This program is a partnership between Aotearoa Fisheries (now Moana New Zealand), Sanford, the Sealord Group and the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) to generate more value from the fisheries industry. The fishing companies involved hold between 30 and 60 percent of the quota for the 9 top species fished in New Zealand waters.

Results / Gains Impact on environment and cost • Unintended catch escapes • Reduced damage to fish while landed Estimated potential economic benefits to NZ: $43.6M per annum by 2025 Costs PGP: $24million Industry: $24million Timeline Start: April 2012 Length: 7 years Relevance to WA Tackle the challenges related to bycatch.

Click to edit Master title Dyneema: Durable Net Material Aquaculture & Fisheries Background Fisheries face the challenge of enabling trawling to increase their catch performance while keeping costs under control. Oil consumption, for example, is a major cost, especially when using small mesh nets.

In aquaculture, growth strategy often includes larger cages. But, traditionally large cage nets made of nylon didn’t always mean better. They were usually heavier and harder to handle thereby requiring additional equipment and personnel. Larger cage nets - up to 150m in circumference - when made of traditional nylon, would weigh up to four/five tons. They also had more surface area that is susceptible to fouling and traditionally require more inspections and repairs.

Description of the Initiative Trawling gear made with Dyneema® can contribute to a better, more profitable operations: - Improved fuel economy, due to smaller twines and lighter nets and lines.

- Higher catch performance on same amount of fuel, due to longer trips. - Lower maintenance costs, due to the wear and tear resistance. - Improved lifetime of the netting as a result of the high durability. - Enhanced safety on board, due to light weight and soft texture of lines and nets. - Lower costs from breakdowns or replacement.

Dyneema is a material that initiates sustainability all along. It is made using raw materials with minimum impact and reduced energy, emissions & water use. The material has minimum carbon footprint as compared to other net materials such a nylon or PE. Dyneema can use used both for commercial fishing & aquaculture.

Mechanisms to Set Up They have licensed partners For fishing ropes the partners in America are: Samson Rope, Euronete, Lankhorst Ropes, Hampidjan, Netmark A/S, Morenot, DSR. For aquaculture nets the partners are: Netmark, Net Systems, Egersund, Hampidjan, Morenot, Euronete, Hvaspund Net A/S

Results / Gains Impact on environment and cost • Help cut fuel costs • Durability reduces replacement and repair costs • Boosts catch performance • Lighter net cages • 40% less antifouling consumption • Higher bite resistance • Cleaning every 12 months as compared to 7 months from nylon nets • Diving inspections reduced by 50% • Operational savings of 10-15% Costs N/A Timeline N/A Relevance to WA Tackle the challenges related to durability, biofouling, fuel costs, escapees.

Click to edit Master title Omega-3 from Natural Marine Algae Aquaculture Background Omega 3 fatty acids is an essential nutrients needed by both humans and fishes to become healthy. Currently, farmed fishes receive this nutrient from fishmeal and fish oils but to do this around 15 million tons of wild fish are caught each year to produce fish meal. This puts a pressure on resources and competes with food production for human consumption.

Description of the Initiative A breakthrough in the aquaculture industry found that omega 3 fatty acids can be derived from microalgae which will provide fishes like salmon with the key ingredients of fish oil which is EPA & DHA. Microalgae is grown in closed fermentation tanks where they convert renewable, sustainable plant sugars into algae containing DHA rich oil in a matter of days.

Mechanisms to Set Up Two companies are venturing into this innovation: • AlgaPrime™ DHA: JV between TerraVia™ and Bunge Limited with a plant running in Brazil. They use locally sourced sugarcane as sugar.

• Veramaris: JV between Royal DSM & Evonik with production facility in Nebraska, USA. They use locally sourced corn as sugar.

BioMar Group recently announced they will be launching fish feed containing marine fatty acids derived from microalgae. The algae used will be delivered by AlgaPrime™ DHA

Results / Gains • One metric ton of AlgaPrime™ DHA is the equivalent of saving up to 40 metric tons of wild caught fish • One metric ton of Veramis oil is equivalent of saving up to 60 metric tons of wild caught fish Costs Veramaris: US$ 200 million in the facility (50:50) Timeline Veramaris: 2 years Relevance to WA Tackle the challenges related to forage fishes.

Monitored by: N/A Implemented by BioMar Group, Denmark.

Fishfeed developed to reduce dependency on marine fisheries and enhance the nutritional value of seafood is the future of aquaculture feed. In current aquaculture practice natural marine algae is eaten by zooplankton, which are eaten by small fishes like forage fishes, which are then caught and turned into fish oil & fish meal for fishes like salmon to eat.

Click to edit Master title Blockchain technology to battle illegal fishing & seafood fraud Seafood Background To battle illegal fishing and seafood fraud, the NOAA introduced The Seafood Import Monitoring Program to establish permitting, data reporting and recordkeeping requirements for the importation of fish and fish products. The importer will be required to keep records regarding the chain of custody of the fish or fish product from harvest to point of entry into U.S. However, this manual record keeping is error-prone and laborious.

Description of the Initiative Blockchain solves this issue. Seafood caught by fishermen will be tracked using a combination of RFID tags, QR codes and scanning devices which continuously transmit data to the blockchain about time, location, temperature, humidity among other data. A blockchain dedicated platform will help authorities confirm and validate the information as proof positive as it also tracks possession changes through the distribution.

Mechanisms to Set Up Tracking will start as soon as the fish is caught and tagged using a reusable RFID tag that is on the boat. The devices are then detected and their location will be automatically uploaded to the blockchain throughout the food production process. Once the fish has been processed, it will then be fitted with a cheaper QR code tag on the packaging. The unique QR code will be linked to the blockchain record associated with the particular fish and its original RFID tag. The QR code tag will be used to trace fish all the way to the supermarket shelves.

Results / Gains • Transparency results in trust throughout the supply chain • Automation saves time and operating costs • Improved food security and product quality • Regulates fishing practices Costs N/A Timeline N/A Relevance to WA Tackle the challenges related to transparency in the industry.

Click to edit Master title Local Norwegian standards sets requirement for fish farming Aquaculture Background Aquaculture is an important solution to increasing demand for fish but it comes with its set of issues.

Escaped farmed salmon and exploitation of farmed areas are a few.

NS 9415 (Floating Farms) The NS 9415 places technical requirements on the dimensioning, design, installation and operation of floating fish farming installations. Manufacturers need to get product certification for their products, farmers need to use certified products, mooring analysis needs to be done.

NS 9416 (Land-Based Farms) The NS 9416 regulation states among many things that all land based facilities must acquire a permit from the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries by 1 January 2021. In order to qualify for these permits, all components at the facility that are significant for preventing fish escape, must comply with the requirements in the NS 9416:2013 standard. This means, for example, that all new fish tanks, hoses and pipes must have a product certification.

NS 9410 (Environmental Monitoring) Authorities in most countries where salmon and trout farming is carried out requires the fish farmer to monitor the environmental impact regularly. In Norway such monitoring is done by following the NS9410: 2016 standard and through “MOM B and MOM C” activities. These activities are in brief the actions of taking risk based samples of the seabed and analyzing it in a laboratory; creating trends allowing for monitoring of the environmental impact of waste from the farm. Environmental monitoring is also a way for the farmer to optimize operations and to demonstrate for the public and authorities what that factual impacts are – short circuiting the often polarized public debate that mares the industry.

Mechanisms to Set Up It developed by Standards Norway in cooperation with representatives from the industry, research institutions and authorities. Standards Norway is currently working on internationalization of the standard through ISO. Monitored by: To ensure that the standard is observed by the fish farmers, the Ministry of Fisheries and Coastal Affairs has laid down regulations. The regulations stipulate that fish farmers can only use new installations and main components that are certified in accordance with the standards and that such certification shall be performed by accredited certification body.

Benefits/Gains: The number of escaped fish is reduced by a factor 10.

Water temperature management is very important in fish farming, but on-site patrols to measure the temperature are impractical. In past years, experienced farmers could estimate water temperature from experience. As these old hands retire, their experience needs to be replaced with objective data analysis.

Description of the Initiative Tokyo-based mobile phone company DoCoMo has developed and implemented a water temperature observation ICT buoy in the Tohoku area. Working at a depth of 1.5 - 2m, the buoys measure water temperature every hour, while data is accumulated onto a cloud server. The buoys contain communication features and a sensor, and link directly to a smartphone and tablet app, which provides information such as water temperature readings that are updated on the hour. It is hoped that the data gathered will be used to improve and stabilize the area's fish production.

Mechanisms to Set Up The service is expected to be billed on a monthly basis, while startup costs will be required separately, NTT Docomo officials said. Initially, the company will provide ICT buoys, each 1.3 meters tall and weighing some 60 kg, for use in shallow water at seaweed farms. The buoys, equipped with communications functions, will measure water temperatures and salt levels every hour with sensors installed on the underside.

Click to edit Master title Marel Flexicut: Whitefish automatic pinbone detection & removal Seafood Background Pinbones are a series of bones in fish fillets, located at the most valuable part of the fillet.

These bones are usually removed from the fillet by manual cutting. This manual operation is labor intensive, tedious, and requires skill that takes time and practice to develop. It is critical that the cutting operation (whether manual or automatic) does not leave any bones or bone fragments in the fillet. At the same time, it is important to minimize the amount of high-value raw material that is cut away with the pinbone removal.

Description of the Initiative Flexicut, the first tangible output of an ongoing project called APRICOT (Automatic Pinbone Removal In COd and whiTefish) – a collaboration between Marel, Sintef, Norway Seafoods, and Faroe Origin, was developed as a solution to the above problem. The technology was twofold. Real time X-ray system was developed to accurately locate the bones in each fillet. Secondly, a cutting mechanism was designed and constructed. This mechanism follows the trajectory of the pinbones in each fillet, based on the X-ray measurements.

Hence overall, the system not only locates pinbones and then cuts them out. It can also be precisely calibrated to divide the loin, cut the belly flap or tail, and portion the fish to customer specifications. The technology is for whitefish processing.

Click to edit Master title eFishery: Robotic Fish Feeding Aquaculture

Feeding machine & controller

Background Fish feeding typically accounts for 50 percent of a fish farm’s overhead costs, but since feeding is a manual task, its mostly an unmeasured and inexact method with one of two outcomes. Overfeeding means much of the feed goes to waste, hurting the bottom line of the business, the marine environment surrounding the farm, and the health of the fish. On the flip side, underfeeding leads to the die off of fish.

Description of the Initiative Auto feeding robots are designed to address these issues and dispense just the right amount of feed by using sensors that measure fish appetite. Designed for large- and smallscale farmers, the system picks up on hungry fish behavior through an in-water, vibrationbased sensor that can read the movement of a hungry versus a full fish.

After deducing the relative hunger of the fish, the top-loaded machine releases a customized amount of feed at pre-set times and sends a real-time activity report directly to the farmer’s smartphone.

Results / Gains • Reduces the amount of feed used by 21 percent • False positive rate (detecting a hungry fish when it's not) is currently less than 4 percent and is usually caused by weather changes Costs N/A Timeline N/A Relevance to WA Tackle the challenges related increase efficiency and reduce pollution.

Click to edit Master title World’s First All-Electric Commercial Fishing Vessel: Karoline Electric boats are especially advantageous in Norway, because the country generates its electricity exclusively from renewable sources, thus emitting no greenhouse gases. A new fishing cutter called the Karoline has been developed by boat builder Selfa Arctic AS, and it the world’s first all-electric commercial fishing vessel. Fishermen find it less strenuous to work on the Karoline than on conventional boasts, because the electric motor doesn’t produce exhaust gases, vibrations, and the noise associated with diesel engines.

Description of the Initiative Corvus Energy powered the world’s first electric commercial fishing vessel. A Corvus lithium polymer Energy Storage System (ESS) has been integrated with a Siemens propulsion system aboard the world’s first electric commercial fishing vessel designed and built by Selfa Arctic AS. While fishing the vessel will operate emissions free, eliminating all greenhouse gasses including CO2.

The boat will also generate less noise and vibration than a standard diesel engine powered fishing vessel. During the Karoline first 30 days of service its operators caught some 58,000 kg of fish, but it consumed only 0.04 liters of diesel per kilogram of fish, representing an 80-percent reduction in fuel consumption compared to conventional diesel-powered fishing cutters.

Results / Gains • Impact on environment and costs • Zero GHG, CO2 emissions • Costs savings from maintenance and operations • No noise load Costs xx Timeline Delivered 2015 Relevance to WA WA can develop similar technologies for the barges it produces and export them to larger vessels manufacturers.

Mechanisms to Set Up The fishing boat is designed to operate entirely on Corvus battery power over a planned ten hour working day. The boat’s main propulsion system is an electric motor that gets its energy from a set of batteries. When the boat is in port at night, its batteries are recharged with electricity from the local grid. As a precautionary measure, the boat is also equipped with an efficient diesel engine and an auxiliary 50kW electric generator.

Click to edit Master title Hybrid Fish Farm Support Vessel: DNV GL & The Green Coastal Shipping Program Background In 2015, the Norwegian maritime industry launched the DNV GL-led public private initiative, the Green Coastal Shipping Program. The idea was to encourage research and development of green technology concepts in the country’s shipping sector. One of the pilots targeted the aquaculture segment with an environmentally friendly fish farm support vessel. ABB worked with the Norwegian Coastal Shipowners Association and ship-owner Egil Ulvans Rederi on developing a hybrid battery powered concept that is safer, more cost effective, and environmentally beneficial.

Description of the Initiative The objective of the pilot project was to define how to best use a battery in combination with a combustion engine to make an energy efficient hybrid propulsion system. The risk of damage to cages in the case of a blackout is reduced, reducing potential insurance costs. The proposed concept vessel would be large enough to handle the more complex and demanding operations offshore that have come with the growing aquaculture sector.

Results / Gains • Impact on environment and costs • Lower CO2, NOx and SOx emissions • Costs savings from maintenance and fuel Costs xx Timeline Concept sent to shipyard in 2017 Relevance to WA WA can build upon existing hybrid technologies used in ferries and apply them to the building of fishing vessels.

Mechanisms to Set Up The concept is based on a 70-meter long vessel that can be converted to fit either a hybrid LNG and battery powered propulsion system or a diesel-plus-battery solution. Both concepts would cut down on NOx, SOx and CO2 emissions (240 tons/year). The vessel would rely on battery power to shave power peaks when loading and unloading at sea and absorb load changes from blasts and swells. A battery back-up solution would also create safer operations by reducing the risk of engine failure and serving as back up.

Click to edit Master title Fully Battery-Powered Fish Farm Workboat: GMV Zero Background The Norwegian shipbuilder Grovfjord Mechanical Workshops (GMV) has seen a growing need among its fish farming customers for sustainable and environmentally friendly solutions. Therefore they developed GMV Zero the world’s first electric fish farm workboat. Such a vessel will attract fish farmers wishing to have a green profile. The idea for GMV Zero originally started several years ago as a way to eliminate the exposure of the workers on board to carcinogenic diesel exhaust particle emissions. Since then, the prices of batteries have dropped dramatically and the number of fish farms along the Norwegian coast with electricity from the grid has increased to about 85% of all farm locations. Both factors have contributed to making 100% battery operation feasible.

Description of the Initiative GMV Zero has zero CO2 emissions, no NOx particle emissions, very low operating and maintenance costs and little or no noise load. The annual reduction of CO2 will be 90 tons and NOx will be lowered by 900kg. The expectations are that GMV Zero could save at least $24,000 per year in operational expenditures compared to a diesel-powered boat.

Results / Gains • Impact on environment and costs • Lower CO2, NOx, SOx and particle emissions • Costs savings from maintenance and operations • No noise load Costs xx Timeline Delivery in 2018 Relevance to WA WA can build upon existing hybrid technologies used in ferries and apply them to the building of fishing vessels.

Click to edit Master title Marine Habitat: financial incentives for reduction of underwater noise Background While there are plenty of naturally occurring sounds in the ocean, an increase in commercial vessel traffic is the main reason for increased underwater noise.

In the North Pacific Ocean, underwater noise has been doubling in intensity every decade for the past 60 years. Most underwater noise from large vessels is caused by propeller cavitation. Other sources of vessel underwater noise include engine and on board machinery; drag from poor hull maintenance; bow/stern thrusters.

Description of the Program The Enhancing Cetacean Habitat and Observation (ECHO) Program is a Vancouver Fraser Port Authority-led initiative aimed at better understanding and managing the impact of shipping activities on at-risk whales throughout the southern coast of British Columbia. The long-term goal of the ECHO Program is to develop mitigation measures that will lead to a quantifiable reduction in potential threats to whales as a result of shipping activities.

Mechanisms to Set Up In January 2017, Vancouver added a new incentive criteria to its existing EcoAction program to include harbor due rate discounts for quieter ships, making Canada the first country in the world with a marine noise reduction incentive.

The ECHO Program benefited from early input and advice from scientists, shipping industries, conservation and environmental groups, First Nations individuals and government agencies to help the program focus efforts and set goals and objectives. Funding contributors include Fraser River Pile and Dredge; Trans Mountain; Transport Canada; Vancouver Fraser Port Authority.

Ports are increasingly looking to reduce their environmental footprints, whilst seeking to add new jobs to the green sector workforce. Several leading ports around the world have already invested in renewable sources to power part of their infrastructure such as warehouses, and terminals, as well as to provide OPS to ships berthing there.

Description of the Program Current or recent projects include:  Use of emission-free fully-electric barges for port shuttles (container sailings between ports in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. The larger vessels can accommodate 270 containers and can sail for at least 35 hours with four container batteries. Recharge time is 4 hours, or batteries can be exchanges at port terminal. Because electric motors do not need a large engine room, the loading area is 8% larger than that of comparable ships.  Gothenburg Port Authority has become a climateneutral company by investing in solar panels, biogas, district heating and other environmental initiatives, so that its emissions have been reduced to a minimum. The remainder will be offset by purchasing Chinese wind power.  APM Terminals’ power consumption (at Maasvlakte II) supplied by European wind parks, including its crane and box handling equipment, and electric vehicles for staff transportation onsite.  Use of solar energy (1 MW) for Port of Los Angeles’ World Cruise Center as the first phase of a multi-location solar power program to eventually produce 10 MW of solar generation capacity.

Results/Gains  Six barges (zero-emission transport) expected to remove 23,000 trucks from Netherlands’ roads annually  Solar PV installation (1 MW) with an expected annual $200,000 energy cost savings, and a lifetime reduction of 22,800 metric tons of CO2 (approx. annual GHG of 4,367 cars) Investment Costs €7 million euro grant for construction of 11 fully-electric inland vessels Solar panel installation for 10 MW, estimated as $10.8 million project Timeline N/A Relevance to WA WA has an ambition to significantly reduce DPM and GHG emissions by 2020.

Click to edit Master title Smart Port: Fully Automated Port Operations to Increase Competitiveness Background Seven of the world's busiest container terminals are in China but now, one of them is completely void of workers. The eastern port of Qingdao is home to Asia's first fully-automated port, Qingdao New Qianwan Automatic Container Terminal (QQCTN), a change which is likely to revolutionize the global shipping business. Indeed QQCTN has become Asia’s first fully automated port terminal after servicing its first containership, the 13,386 TEU COSCO in 2017.

Description of the Program After three years of development (to build the terminal from scratch), the terminal has completed its first fully automated phase to upgrade two berths across 660 m of quay with seven STS cranes operated by remote control, 38 automated stacking cranes (ASCs) and 38 battery-powered automated guided vehicles (AGVs).

The terminal is controlled by artificial intelligence, laser scanners and positioning systems that can locate the four corners of each container to accurately clamp and move them onto driverless trucks. These smart autopilot trucks, driven by electricity, have their routes and tasks under digital control.

Automated guided vehicles are programmed with routes and tasks and also have the artificial intelligence to recognize when a recharge is needed.

The upgrade has essentially changed blue collar tasks into a white collar one. Workers used to operate the machines in sky-high cranes, but now much of the work has been left to a computer in the office.

Results / Gains • Improved operational efficiency (e.g. amount of workers required to unload a cargo ship as the 13,386 TEU ship, has been reduced from 60 to nine) • Terminal operational in complete darkness during night-time (thus reducing labor costs by 70% and increase overall efficiency by 30%) Costs • • •

Click to edit Master title Smart Port: Virtual Container Yard Background It has been estimated that 30-40% of intermodal trucks are hauling empty containers at any given moment, the result of an inefficient system in which containers are routinely returned to marine terminals or container depots after being unloaded. Those extra trips add up to a lot of wasted transportation time and expense for both carriers and shippers, and create traffic congestion and air pollution.

IMPORTER

Street turns

Description of the Program • Port of Long Beach: Virtual Container Yard (VCY) is a technology aimed at reducing empty container handling, primarily used by ocean and motor freight carriers. It is a cloud-based system that informs participating operators which containers are to be delivered back to the depot. It thus eliminates needless empty trips by matching available import containers “on the street” with export needs for equipment.

• Port of Rotterdam: Container Exchange Route (CER) is an internal means to connect all the terminals at a port with each other.

• Port of Rotterdam: TEUbooker offers a synchromodal solution, whereby it utilizes unused capacities of all transport modes to maximize exchange possibilities and reduce transportation costs. It is a 24/7 online booking portal for container transport in the Port of Rotterdam. With one click, users can book containers on existing barge, rail and truck movements in the Maasvlakte area. Bookers can follow.

How VCY Works Basics of the VCY logistics: a carrier posts the availability of an empty container online, including its location. A trucker, seeking an empty container, uses an online search mechanism to locate available equipment by location. A match is identified, and the trucker requests a VCY transaction. An electronic authorization is issued, allowing the trucker to pick up the empty container and deliver it directly to the new customer. Note that the VCY integrates with ocean carriers’ equipment management systems. As the carrier’s system updates the status of each container, the information is transferred to the VCY and made available to approved trucking companies. A trucking company is allowed access to this information only if authorized by the ocean carrier.

Click to edit Master title Smart Port: Blockchain to Reduce Transportation Administration Costs Background The shipping industry is increasingly committed to the wider application of blockchain across the global logistics and shipping businesses as it will lead to much greater operating efficiencies, security and transparency.

Blockchain technology is expected to minimize transport costs of goods as it is estimated that the maximum cost of required trade documentation to process and administer these goods is one-fifth of the actual physical transportation costs. By reducing barriers within the international supply chain, global trade could increase by nearly 15% (World Economic Forum).

Description of the Program Rotterdam, Blockchain Technology Field Lab: launch of new applied research lab (BlockLab) for the development of concrete applications and solutions based on blockchain technology in Sept 2017. BlockLab is an initiative of the Port of Rotterdam Authority and the Municipality of Rotterdam, and is supported by the regional development corporation InnovationQuarter.

Pacific International Lines (PIL), PSA (Singapore) and IBM have finished a successful blockchain trial from Chongqing to Singapore – and believe the concept can be taken to the next stage. The 3 companies agreed in August 2017 to collaborate on blockchain-based supply chain business network innovations and successfully worked on a proof of concept exercise, built on the IBM Blockchain Platform, applying and then testing a blockchain-based supply chain to track and trace cargo movement from Chongqing to Singapore via the Southern Transport Corridor.

AP Moller–Maersk and IBM established a JV in June 2016, aimed at offering a global trade digitization platform by using blockchain technology, and address the need for greater transparency and simplicity in the movement of goods across borders and trading zones.

Commercialization plans: (1) shipping information pipeline to provide end-to-end supply chain visibility and enable all players managing a supply chain to securely and seamlessly exchange shipment information in real time; (2) Paperless Trade, to digitize and automate paperwork filings by enabling end-users to securely submit, validate and approve documents across organizational boundaries, ultimately to reduce time and cost for clearance and cargo movement. Upon regulatory clearance, solutions from the JV are expected to become available within 6 months.

Multiple parties have piloted the platform including DuPont, Dow Chemical, Tetra Pak, Port Houston, Rotterdam Port Community System Portbase, the Customs Administration of the Netherlands, U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

Click to edit Master title Sweden Port Dues Background In 1996, the Swedish Maritime Administration (SMA), the Swedish Port and Stevedores Association, and the Swedish Shipownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Association agreed to use differentiated dues to encourage the reduction of emissions of SOx and NOx from shipping in Swedish fairways and ports. The original goal was to reduce NOx and SOx emissions by 75% over ten years.

Description of the Program The program has been designed to be cost-neutral, charging polluting ships (ship emissions at or over 6g/kWh of NOx) more while providing discounts to cleaner ships. As polluting ships have to pay more, the extra dues which become therewith available are used to pay the discount on dues which is given to cleaner ships. The program was restructured in 2005, 2010, 2014 and 2016 to reflect changes of fuel regulation and advances in emission control technologies, and to ensure sufficient incentives continue to be provided.

Click to edit Master title Air Quality: Ship Exhaust Scrubbing as an Alternative to Cold Ironing Background When berthed, ships require electricity to support activities like loading, unloading, heating and lighting, cargo refrigeration, and other on board activities. This power is generally provided by auxiliary engines and boilers that emit carbon dioxide (CO2) and air pollutants, affecting local air quality and ultimately the health of both port workers and nearby residents. The same holds for noise nuisance.

Description of the Solution / Technology As an alternative to cold ironing (which is a process where ships shut off their diesel-powered engines and use shorebased power for their electrical needs, preventing and/or significantly reducing harmful emissions during each port visit), specialized barges (or shore-based system) can be used by connecting to the exhaust vents of ocean-going vessels (especially container ships) to scrub pollution.

AMECS – Advanced Maritime Emissions Control System, also known as "Baghouse System“, consists of ECS (Exhaust Capture System) and ETS (Emissions Treatment System) and can also be used by non-regular ships whilst on dock. AMECS is approved by CARB as a certified alternative to cold ironing which allows ships not equipped with shore power to achieve cold ironing compliance.

Unlike shore power, AMECS does not require any modification to the ship, and does not require major power system infrastructure upgrades that are associated with shore power. AMECS patented “direct connect” technology safely connects to each vessel exhaust port to provide 100% exhaust gas capture. Barge-based system can be moved from vessel to vessel to remove criteria pollutants from the vessel’s exhaust gas while the vessel is hoteling. Continuous emissions monitoring provides assurance to regulatory agencies that pollutants are being removed.

Results / Gains • Proven emissions reductions: 95% PM, 99% NOX, 99% SOX, 99% VOCs • Less expensive than shore power • No vessel or berth retrofit required • Eliminates ship blackout concerns associated w/ grid • Rapid connection • Can handle multiple exhaust ports at the same time • Same emission reductions regardless of fuel type used Costs AMECS is less expensive than OPS and requires no vessel or berth retrofit Timeline N/A Relevance to WA WA has an ambition to significantly reduce DPM (diesel particulate matter) and GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions by 2020.

Provider of AMECS In 2013, Port of Long Beach provided about $2 million in seed money to help test AMECS. Advanced Cleanup Technologies Inc. (ACTI) can market AMECS to vessel operators as an alternative to container ships plugging into the electrical grid to reduce emissions while at berth.

Container and cruise ships must significantly reduce atberth emissions to meet state regulations, but the existing “shore power” option requires retrofits to each vessel.

Monitored by Emissions in ports are monitored by U.S. EPA. Pollutants’ monitoring by AMECS. Implemented in USA (technology approved by CARB to achieve cold ironing compliance).

Click to edit Master title Air Quality: Cold ironing with Onshore Power Supply (OPS) Background When berthed, ships require electricity to support activities like loading, unloading, heating and lighting and other on board activities. Today, this power is generally provided by auxiliary engines that emit carbon dioxide (CO2) and air pollutants, affecting local air quality and ultimately the health of both port workers and nearby residents. The same holds for noise nuisance.

Description of the Program Cold ironing is a process where ships shut off their dieselpowered engines and use shore-based power for their electrical needs, preventing and/or significantly reducing harmful emissions during each port visit. In this way ships’ operations can proceed uninterrupted, while eliminating negative side-effects. Electricity can be from renewable sources, or cleaner fuels like LNG. Mechanisms to Set Up Tougher environmental legislation, greater focus on emissions in ports from shipping and rising fuel prices are factors pushing ports to consider cold ironing. The European Commission issued a recommendation stating that "Member States should consider the installation of shore-side electricity for use by ships at berth in ports; particularly in ports where air quality limit values are exceeded or where public concern is expressed about high levels of noise nuisance, and especially in berths situated near residential areas“. There is an EU directive which requires all ports in the 28-member bloc to make shore power available by 2025. In California, its Air Resources Board (CARB) adopted a regulation in 2007 to reduce emissions from diesel auxiliary engines on ships while atberth for container, cruise and reefer vessels. Port authorities and governments may subsidize the project costs, which could be a public-private collaboration.

Results / Gains • Reduced emission of air pollutants, CO2, noise and vibration • Shore power cuts air pollution from ships at berth by 95% • Can remove as much as 1,000 pounds of diesel exhaust pollutants during a single port call of a typical container ship Costs • •

Quayside: US$ 300,000 to 4 million per berth, depending various factors Shipside: US$ 300,000 to 2 million, depending on various factors

Timeline N/A Relevance toResults WA / Gains WA has an ambition to significantly reduce DPM (diesel particulate matter) and GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions by 2020.

To build up a clear and comprehensive idea of the potential for cold ironing at a particular port requires input from many different parties. A working group comprising experts and representatives from different stakeholders (e.g. port authority, targeted shipping lines (frequentcallers), terminal operator, local community, suppliers of electricity and automation technology, environmental engineers) should discuss the issue and create a wellfounded business case.

Monitored by Emissions in ports are monitored by U.S. EPA. Implemented in Belgium, Canada, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, USA (incl. WA State partially).

Click to edit Master title Air Quality: Emissions reduction from Cargo Handling Equipment (CHE) Background Vessels arrive and depart ports around the clock, which mean equipment and machinery at these ports are always operating. Cargo handling equipment, together with the trucks that are coming to port to pick up or discharge cargo, is the second largest source of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in ports.

Cargo handling equipment at ports generally include yard tractors, cranes, forklifts, container handlers (e.g. top picks and side picks), and bulk handling equipment, such as tractors, loaders, dozers, excavators, and backhoes. Among these equipment types, yard tractors, container handlers, and forklifts are the most common types of equipment at ports.

Description of the Program To reduce the amount of pollutants emitted from ports, ports are beginning to retrofit these cargo handling equipment types with emissions control systems, replace older equipment with newer cleaner equipment, or use cleaner fuel technologies, such as electrification.

Mechanisms to Set Up Such programs are usually self-funded by the port terminals and port authorities and/or service providers.

However, governmental grants might also be available.

For example, the Port of Los Angeles secured a $5.8 million state grant to purchase and test a new fleet of 25 zero and near-zero emission yard tractors at its container terminal. The grant will also fund a companion project to equip 100 more drayage trucks with smart technology aimed at reducing emissions by streamlining their time on the road and improving the flow of containers to and from the port complex. This grant was by the California Energy Commission (CEC), which supports freight transportation projects at California seaports under its Alternative and Renewable Fuel and Vehicle Technology Program. The purpose is to advance commercialization of clean fuels and technologies that cut greenhouse gas emissions, reduce petroleum use and improve the health and quality of life of communities disproportionately burdened by environmental pollution.

Results / Gains • Yard hostlers with hydraulic hybrid technology are expected to achieve 60-70% improvement in fuel economy and a 40% reduction in emissions.

• Electric trucks can be 4-9 times cheaper to operate than diesel trucks, depending on fuel costs and operating conditions Costs • •

Electric yard hostler: $189,950 Electric truck: $208,500
