Peel Ports Clydeport won the Green Champion award at the 25th annual Glasgow Business Awards.

The awards, held on 5 October and  hosted by the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce celebrates businesses with a dedication to driving forward environmental initiatives.

Clydeport has been investing to become a net-zero port operator by 2040, five years ahead of the Scottish government’s national decarbonisation targets.

Key developments include a £17million investment in installing electric cranes at Greenock Ocean Terminal, as well as changing lighting across all sites to LED.

The network of ports has also invested heavily in upgrading its equipment fleet to run on low emission alternatives to fossil fuels, with 88% of its fleet now running on Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO) and 90% on electric power.
