Opportunities and Challenges of Implementing Green and Smart Port Concepts in Indonesia

Abstract

The implementation of green and smart port principles in Indonesian ports is explored in research articles along with potential. Ports that are "green" or "smart" aim to minimize their negative environmental effects. These ideas can greatly increase port operations' sustainability and efficiency. The infrastructure and high logistics expenses in Indonesian ports are just two of the issues they encounter. The potential advantages of smart and environmentally friendly ports for Indonesia are examined in this study. Ports can serve as catalysts for the economy, lower logistics costs, environmental sustainability, improved global competitiveness, and climate change mitigation. Ports may support efforts around the world to lessen the effects of climate change by using sustainable practices and technologies. By looking at successful examples from other countries and analyzing the potential benefits of implementing green and smart ports for Indonesia's maritime industry, economy, and environment, this study aims to provide insightful analysis and recommendations for policymakers, port authorities, and other stakeholders in the country's maritime industry. In conclusion, effective and sustainable port operations can help a nation's economy and environment in the long run by spurring economic development, lowering logistical costs, improving global competitiveness, and aiding in environmental sustainability and climate change mitigation initiatives.
