PMSA said this is a result of maritime industry
efforts, according to two new Emissions Inventories, Port of Long Beach 2023
emissions inventory and the Port of Los Angeles 2023 emissions inventory.
The San Pedro Bay
Ports combined saw their largest reductions ever in 2023 compared to the
baseline year of 2005 and exceeded the ports’ Clean Air Action Plan goals:
§
91% for diesel particulate matter (DPM); 72% for nitrogen oxides (NOx)
§
98% for sulfur oxides (SOx); 20% for greenhouse gases (GHG)
“These 2023 emission
reductions are the most dramatic ever seen at our Ports,” stated Jacqueline
Moore, Vice President of PMSA. “Our improvements in air quality over the past two decades are a real
success story due to efforts and investments by PMSA members and our Port of LA
and Long Beach partners.”
