It's always a good feeling to know that you've found a way of saving the company money by improving fuel usage and operational efficiency while also reducing emissions. Under the Port Authority's Cargo Handling Equipment Fleet Modernization Incentive Program, which is funded by a $2 million federal Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) grant, your organization may be able to receive an incentive when you purchase new cargo handling equipment with Tier IV engines or alternative powered equipment, including all electric, diesel electric or hydraulic hybrids, and liquefied or compressed natural gas.
Eligible Port Authority tenants would purchase new cargo handling equipment and the Port Authority would reimburse the participating tenants for 20% of the purchase price, up to $20,000 per unit replaced. The tenant would agree to scrap the old equipment.
All Port Authority Marine Terminal Tenants in NJ with off road container cargo handling equipment are eligible for this program.
Off-road Container Cargo-Handling Equipment such as straddle carriers, yard tractors, rubber tire gantry cranes, or top loaders.
There are four easy steps.
