Lineage Logistics Awarded by the Port of Seattle

Lineage Logistics has been recognized by the Port of Seattle with a Sustainable Century Award for its environmental leadership and partnership in helping the Port achieve its environmental stewardship, sustainability and equity goals.

Lineage, a longtime business partner of the Port and recipient of the 2022 Maritime Sustainable Century Award for Environmental Performance, operates the seven-building Seattle Garfield facility on Pier 91 in Seattle, Washington. Over the past year, site leaders have implemented significant sustainability initiatives across facilities resulting in a direct, measurable environmental benefit.

The Port of Seattle recognized Lineage for investments in energy savings. These efforts include:

• Implementing LED lighting, new control technology and motion sensors throughout buildings 391 and 392 to reduce the percentage of light output when not occupied
• Installation of three high-speed, roll-up doors in the freezer area of building 390 to minimize how long doors stay open when forklifts are moving between the docks and freezer to drive energy efficiency
• Replacing rail doors in buildings 390 and 391 with heavily insulated doors; the new rail dock doors help conserve energy by reducing heat transfer from the freezer
• Installation of variable frequency drives that allow the existing electric compressors to operate more efficiently  
• Installation of two new evaporators with energy-efficient technology and variable frequency drives that control the fan motor speed
• Installation of four new electric HVAC units to replace natural gas units
• Working with Geosyntec on its Storm Water Prevention Plan to help drive efficiencies and reduce environmental impact
