THE READINESS OF IMPLEMENTING A ZERO-EMISSION SHIPPING POLICY IN MALAYSIA
Keywords:
Zero-Emission, shipping policy, maritime industry, carbon emissions reduction, content analysisAbstract
The shipping industry's growth in Malaysia has led to a significant increase in ship emissions.
impacting air and marine quality and posing risks to human health, climate, and ecosystems.
To address these environmental challenges, this research paper examines the implementation of
a zero-emission shipping policy in Malaysia. The objectives of this study are to identify the
impact of such a policy on the country's shipping industry and to formulate a comprehensive
framework for the successful implementation of the zero-emission policy. Qualitative
methodology was employed, and interviews were conducted with the Marine Department
Malaysia (MDM) to gather insights and data. Content analysis was applied to analyze the
interview results. This research contributes to addressing the shipping industry's sustainability
challenges in Malaysia by providing insights into the implementation of a zero-emission policy.
