GCT Deltaport achieves 100% renewable fuel transition for diesel equipment

Global Container Terminals’ GCT Deltaport has fully transitioned to 100% renewable fuel for its diesel equipment. This important milestone underscores GCT’s leadership in environmental sustainability and supports its climate goal of reducing absolute emissions by 45% by 2030 and achieving net-zero by 2050.

The transition was achieved through a collaborative partnership with Tsawwassen First Nation (TFN) and Parkland Corporation, another Green Marine participant. This initiative not only lowers emissions immediately, with GCT Deltaport recording a 65% reduction in its first six months, but it also promotes economic reconciliation and shared stewardship of the land, reflecting a values-driven partnership with TFN on whose traditional territories the terminal operates.

TFN Chief Laura Cassidy highlighted how this meaningful collaboration supports both economic prosperity and environmental care, advancing reconciliation and sustainability goals. GCT’s President & CEO Eric Waltz emphasized that this milestone combines environmental responsibility with strong Indigenous partnerships, paving the way for future clean technology adoption.

Following a similar transition at GCT Vanterm in 2024, GCT terminals are now 100% powered by renewable diesel, an industry-leading step toward a cleaner, more resilient gateway at Canada’s busiest port.
