My name is Ravi Sekhon, and I am the Director of Engineering and
Sustainability at Centerline Logistics. Thank you for the
opportunity to provide these brief comments remotely. Centerline
Logistics is a leading marine transportation company operating
along the U.S. West, East, and Gulf Coasts, as well as in Alaska,
Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. We specialize in transporting and storing
petroleum products, providing ship-assist and escort services, and
conducting general cargo and rescue towing.

We are passionate about our work and committed to the opportunities
for decarbonizing marine transportation. We believe methanol can
serve as an effective marine fuel. In fact, we recently introduced
an innovative solution called Clean Harbor Alternative Mobile Power
(CHAMP). This platform will use methanol-fueled generators to
supply clean power and thereby reduce emissions from vessels such
as containerships, cruise ships and tankers by up to 93% while they
are idling at port. Offering LCFS credits for initiatives like
CHAMP would significantly accelerate the adoption of methanol in
the marine industry. Additionally, we believe our existing
bunkering operations, which involve delivering marine fuels to
other vessels, can support methanol with minimal infrastructure
adjustments compared to other alternatives.

We urge the Board to act swiftly to enable opt-in credits for
alternative fuels like methanol within the marine sector. We
support a resolution that initiates and expedites these necessary
amendments.
