GTI
became the proud recipient of such a tank container this week. 25,000 litres of
fresh water was unloaded from MV
Maersk Stralsund (operating on the ME2 service at GTI) and
delivered to GTI’s fresh water sump. This
water will be used to meet the Terminal’s daily water requirements and offsets
the need to purchase equivalent quantity of water which is obtained from
natural resources.
Going forward, Maersk Line plans to regularize such
production and delivery of water at GTI which will help GTI draw out plans for
more sustainable utilization of the same. This will not only impact the cost of
sourcing water at GTI but will also help in reducing Scope III emissions for
the terminal.
In line with its commitment to decarbonization, GTI looks forward to partnering with
Maersk and other shipping lines towards more such sustainability focused
initiatives.
