Seaports face significant environmental challenges, and the green port concept has emerged as a response to these challenges. This study focuses on Port Klang, Malaysia's largest port, and finds that environmental quality, energy and resource usage, waste handling, and habitat quality and greenery are critical factors for achieving green port hub status. Additionally, the competitiveness of a seaport is significantly affected by green operations, sustainable equipment, resources management, and cost efficiency.
Seaports face significant environmental challenges in their role as hubs for logistics activities, particularly since ships are significant contributors to energy consumption, global warming and air and marine pollution. The environmental pressures facing ports has led to the emergence of the green port concept. Port Klang is the largest port in Malaysia, characterised not only by significant container throughput, but also by significant congestion issues, emissions and pollution. These characteristics led to the selection of Port Klang, the nation's major seaport, as a case study for this analysis of the variables most relevant in the effective implementation of the green port concept and subsequent research into how this green seaport concept influences a seaport's future competitiveness. To achieve these aims, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has been employed. The findings of the analysis suggest that environmental quality, the use of energy and resources, waste handling and habitat quality and greenery are the critical influential factors required for establishing green port hub status and that then port competitiveness is most significantly affected by green operations, sustainable equipment, resources management and cost efficiency at seaports.
