Our Blue Circle Awards are one way we celebrate our port community partners who are operating in a way that supports a healthy environment in and around the Port of Vancouver.
Blue Circle Awards recognize:
- Shipping companies that have invested in technologies and practices that meet or exceed regulatory requirements and have the greatest fleet-wide participation in our EcoAction Program
- Terminal operators and other tenants who have taken steps toward energy efficiency and conservation through our Energy Action initiative

As the port authority was not able to offer on-site Energy Management Assessment workshops during the pandemic, we unfortunately were not able to consider terminal operators for a Blue Circle Award. We look forward to relaunching these workshops and reconnecting with our terminal operators in the years ahead. |
