thousands of tons of emissions over the lifetime of the equipment.
The tour included a drive through part of Seagirt Marine Terminal and close-ups of several operations at Dundalk Marine Terminal with its acres of new vehicles, which are often processed onsite and customized before delivery to dealers or loaded onto vessels for export. During the tour, the guides pointed out pieces of cargo-handling equipment that had been upgraded and were hard at work at the terminals.
“We thoroughly enjoyed the
tour,” said Marcia Patterson from
the Rockview Beach/Riviera Isles Improvement Association. “Each of the men was so passionate about his area of expertise. Very happy to see the environmental considerations as well. We had a nice vantage point.”
The community groups who partici- pated in the tour represented Canton, Curtis Bay, Brooklyn, Rockview Beach/ Riviera Isles, Callaway-Garrison, Green Haven, Harbor Valley and Baltimore’s Midtown Community, encompassing Mount Vernon, Bolton Hill, Charles North and Madison Park. Other organizations participating included the Maryland Department of the Environment’s Air and Radiation Administration, the Alliance
for the Chesapeake Bay, the Greater Baybrook Alliance and Baltimore City’s Office of Sustainability.
The BPA Environmental Committee hosts tours twice a year, providing an opportunity for community members and other interested organizations
to see Port operations up close and observe the efficient movement
of goods though the terminals.
These tours are just one part of the Environmental Committee’s outreach efforts to the community to better explain the importance of the Port of Baltimore to Maryland’s economy.
The BPA membership represents more than 300 companies and organizations that make up the Port of Baltimore. 􏰀
