HAZARDOUS CARGO PRACTICES TOWARDS GREEN PORT PERFORMANCE: EVIDENCE FROM PORT OF TANJONG PELEPAS (PTP)

Abstract

Obtaining green port status is a novel idea for ports, particularly in Malaysia. Preventing and reducing pollution at the port is a critical factor to address in order to have the safest port operation possible. The term "green" refers to new ideas, innovations, and transitions, which includes the port's technical development process. Because the green port is still in its early stages of implementation, it is vital to determine what elements should be monitored by ports in their everyday operations. The management of dangerous goods (DG) in PTP is governed by the Johor Port Authority (JPA) By-Law and the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code). With the following goals and objectives, JPA has developed the Green Port Policy, which will serve as a general guide for all port operators in their efforts to achieve a green port environment. The purpose of this study is to investigate into the PTP's current hazardous cargo management practices and relationship toward green port performance. The port operator will be able to protect the environment and hazardous cargo management system and facilities at the port as a result of this research.
