ISKANDAR PUTERI, Oct 8 — Domestic port operators have been urged to accelerate their decarbonisation initiatives, including the adoption of electric terminal trucks (e-prime movers) for port operations, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
He said the shift towards greener practices aligns with Malaysia’s commitment under the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
“Carbon reduction efforts at the port’s operational level must keep pace with the global shipping industry's transition, which is currently exploring the use of alternative fuels such as methanol, liquefied natural gas (LNG) and ammonia
“The use of electric-powered machinery, such as the e-prime movers implemented by the Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP), aligns with that objective.
