Trailer Bridge, Inc. (NASDAQ Global Market: TRBR) today
announced that the Company was recently recognized for outstanding
achievements in environmental excellence by the Chamber of Shipping
of America (CSA). The organization recognized Trailer Bridge for
“environmental excellence during 13 consecutive years of
operation.” Each of the Company’s seven vessels was noted for
“devotion to the principles of environmental protection established
by the international community, U.S. Federal agencies and local
authorities.” The Company’s vessels have operated without incident
throughout the Company’s history.
J. Edward Morley, Trailer Bridge’s Vice President – Marine
Operations, said, “We are honored to receive this award, and
believe that we have been at the forefront of environmental issues
in marine transportation for years. The Company uses an Ultra Low
Sulfur Diesel Fuel (ULSD) in each of its vessels. Trailer Bridge
has gradually shifted from using a Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel (LSD),
which is still allowed by the Environmental Protection Agency for
use in marine vessels to the cleaner ULSD that will be required in
the future. We believe this distinguishes Trailer Bridge from its
peers.” Ivy B. Suter, Chief Executive Officer added, “The Company’s
customer relationships are often driven by our more cost-efficient
transportation system, and this environmental edge is becoming
increasingly important for companies concerned about their
environmental footprint. As a reference, we use ULSD with a sulfur
content of 6 ppm and our self propelled competitors typically use
fuel with a sulfur content of up to 45,000 ppm."
