HPA is a proactive participant within Green Marine and is pleased to see the Yellowline terminal joining the environmental program.  »Close working relationships between various Port users are instrumental in reaching greater sustainability. In embracing Green Marine, our terminal users show their commitment and willingness to work towards reducing the Port’s total environmental footprint”, said HPA President & CEO Bruce Wood.
