HALIFAX — The federal government has announced an investment of up to $25 million for the Halifax Port Authority.
The investment breakdown includes up to $22.5 million, under the Green Shipping Corridor Program, to accelerate development of the Halifax – Hamburg green shipping corridor by:
- preparing to host and potentially refuel alternative fuel-powered vessels;
- establishing a hydrogen production facility;
- electrifying port equipment to reduce emissions; and
- acquiring an electric rail locomotive and launching an incentive program to shift freight traffic from road to rail.
Approximately $2.5 million will go towards the Ship to Shore Crane Infrastructure project, under the National Trade Corridors fund, which is meant to relieve supply chain congestion, expand terminal capacity, and increase speed and efficiency when servicing larger vessels at the Port of Halifax, a release reads.
