Green Management Execution at Malaysian Federal Seaports: Challenges and Opportunities

Abstract

Seaports are significant nodal points in any supply chain network. Accordingly, the need to consistently upgrade and further develop processes would bode well for the maritime industry and nations competitiveness. There has been a change in the pattern by which green issues have become significant themes to the global sea transportation players. Developed nations have been the leaders in pursuing green options for future development. This leads to developing nations pursuing the green agenda to stay competitive. As such, Malaysia's desire of being the preferred sea nodal point in Southeast Asia lies in its abilities of seeking innovative processes and business opportunities through green principles. This chapter will focus on:

• • Introducing Malaysia's seaport industry.

• • A review of green management at seaports.

• • The current state of green management implementation at Malaysia's federal ports.

• • Challenges and opportunities for Malaysia's federal ports in pursuing green management.
