Green Shipping Line was born from the inspiration of seeing the U.S.A. as a global competitor in the shipping industry and bringing much needed relief to our deteriorating transportation system. That’s why our business models and our commitment to bringing about change not just in the shipping industry but for our nation’s workers and environment are intrinsically tied. By building affordable, fuel-efficient, Jones Act compliant vessels, we can create a system of sustainability that will bring about a significant benefit to our country’s logistics supply chains. We are committed to helping our nation in three key ways: job creation, environmental impact, and economic stimulus.
Helping Create Jobs
- Growth in population and GDP will generate additional demands for container transportation solutions, thus creating a need for new job opportunities
- Revitalizing American shipbuilding will create thousands of new American jobs
- Create job opportunities at many of the country’s ports and regional shipyards
Benefiting Our Environment
- Reduction in energy spend and carbon footprint of a cargo’s logistics supply chains
- Advanced cost-effective company compliance with the new EPA sustainability standards and state regulations such as California’s AB32
- Ability to “heavy load” containers for water transport versus “over the road” interstate weight limitations for containers
- Reduction in pollution
- Reduction in gridlock
Stimulating Our Economy
- Higher Wall Street sustainability ratings for companies who use water transportation resulting in reduced future borrowing cost of capital
- Significant fuel savings
- Improved methods of homeland security
- Improved supply chain security
- Additional supply chain option of supply chains for “dangerous cargos”
- Opportunities to increase “working capital velocity” for U.S. exporters
