Implementation Status
Ocean-Going Vessels
2009 Success Towards 2010 Goal:
63.5% of frequent callers
Container vessels: 40% of frequent callers
used  0.5% sulfur fuel in auxiliary engines
while at berth (236 calls)
Cruise Vessels: 100% of frequent callers (218
calls)
23% used shore power (50 calls)
38.5% used  0.5% sulfur fuel (84 calls)

2010 Implementation Status
Ocean-Going Vessels
At-Berth Clean Fuels Vessel Incentive Program
$2,250 per call incentive to use  0.5% sulfur fuel in
auxiliary engines while at berth
Audits
11 participating lines
YTD (as of 11/10): 347 participating calls
Reduced over 200 metric tons of SO2

Implementation Status
Cargo-Handling Equipment
2009 Success Towards 2010 Goal:
68% of all CHE at Port of Seattle met the
2010 performance measure
100% of CHE used ultra low sulfur diesel fuel
and/or biodiesel blends
2010 Efforts:
Grants awarded by U.S. EPA, PSCAA, and
WA Dept. of Ecology to retrofit or replace
CHE

Implementation Status
Rail
2009 Success Towards 2010 Goal:
BNSF North Seattle International Gateway
electrification
Port continues to support commitments made by UP
and BNSF Railway to the U.S. EPA SmartWay
Transport Partnership
Louis Dreyfus switched to ULSD/B20 fuel for
locomotive and facility operations at T-86
2010 Efforts:
Q1 2010: PSCAA and Louis Dreyfus installed anti-
idling equipment on switcher locomotives at T-86,
reducing fuel consumption by 50%

Implementation Status
Harbor Vessels
2009 Success Towards 2010 Goal
Port continues to support PSCAA in reducing emissions
from harbor tug operations
PSCAA projects:
Partnered with Caterpillar and a Seattle-based fishing
vessel, Fierce Allegiance, to develop engine
rebuild/upgrade kit
$700k grant from U.S. EPA to retrofit two Foss tugs with
diesel oxidation catalysts
Partnered with WA Dept. of Ecology and Kitsap Transit to
install diesel particulate filters on the new passenger ferry
Received $2.1 million federal grant to retrofit Washington
State Ferry engines                              10

Implementation Status
Clean Truck Program
Mandatory
Negotiated lease amendments with marine
terminal operators (MTOs)
1/1/2011: all trucks must have MY 1994
engines and be in the Port's Drayage Truck
Registry (DTR)
Scrappage and Retrofits for Air in Puget
Sound
Terminal 25 South truck parking facility
Communications and outreach

ScRAPS
Puget Sound Clean Air Agency program
Administered by non-profit Cascade Sierra Solutions
$5 million program
Port of Seattle provided $1.7 million
Provides $5k (or blue book value) to scrap
pre-1994 drayage trucks
Must prove truck operates at the Port of Seattle
Owner can use the incentive as they wish
Scrapped 244 trucks (as of 11/29)
$1,220,000 paid to drivers in incentives
