Early on, BA committed to developing fully integrated terminal facilities designed to the highest U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) standards and designed many of the first LEED facilities for ports across America.

Energy efficiency is one of the critical design elements for every new or upgraded maritime facility. BA understands this is done by attracting shore power ready vessels to shore power ready ports and reducing the pollutant emissions at the port.

BA is applying innovative design solutions to bulkheads to ensure they not only accommodate cruise vessel operation, but are durable and resilient to provide for an extended service life. This includes resilient infrastructure design that will accommodate major weather events and future sea-level rise.

BA’s sustainable designs allow for energy efficiency, competitive operating costs, enhanced asset value, and reduced environmental impacts.
