Emissions from Maritime Activity sectors from the U.S. Ports are measured every 5 years as part of a region-wide maritime emissions inventory called the Puget Sound Maritime Air Emissions Inventory (PSEI). The PSEI covers air and greenhouse gas emissions from all maritime-related activities in the U.S. portion of the Georgia Basin-Puget Sound airshed, including ocean-going vessels, cargo-handling equipment, heavy duty-diesel vehicles, harbor vessels, rail locomotives, and fleet vehicles. The Ports track emission reductions relative to the baseline inventory year (2005) as a way to measure progress. The Ports also collect data and report on progress in annual Implementation Reports.
How do Ports track progress and know if the Strategy is working?
