Exciting news - today our Manzanillo International Terminal (MIT) in Colón, Panama rebranded as SSA Marine MIT, reflecting the terminal’s important role as part of our global organization for nearly three decades.

With over 329 cruise ship visits currently scheduled for the award-winning Canada Place cruise terminal at the Port of Vancouver, we’re expecting this year’s cruise season to be record-breaking. The Vancouver cruise industry injects an average of almost $3 million into the local economy for each ship visit, supports nearly 7,000 jobs across Canada and $300 million in wages, and contributes $840 million to Canada’s GDP.    We look forward to working alongside our cruise line and industry partners to ensure another successful season. This includes cruise lines, Canada Place cruise terminal operator SSA Marine, the International Longshore Warehouse Union, and our partners at Canada Border Services Agency | Agence des services frontaliers du Canada and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

We’re pleased to share that SSA Marine has joined the Zero Emission Port Alliance (ZEPA), along with 10 other organizations from across the container port industry.

"At SSA Marine, we are very proud to be a founding member of ZEPA,” said Nicolas GAUTHIER, President of the Global Container Division at SSA Marine. “Building on SSA’s longstanding experience in deploying zero emissions equipment globally, the formation of ZEPA will provide affordable and accessible electric solutions for our industry and accelerate the journey to carbon neutrality." #global #shipping #ports #containers #decarbonization #electrification #battery #ZEPA
