Green Port Performance Criteria Model in A Sustainable Maritime Transportation System in Makassar Port

Abstract

Maritime transport, commonly referred to as the Maritime Transportation System (MTS), encompasses ports and intermodal land connections that facilitate approximately 80% of global trade. This research aims to enhance the concept of a green port model at Makassar Port in South Sulawesi by assessing criteria for green port performance. The methodology involves constructing a green port performance model through the integration of structural equation modeling (SEM). The criteria considered for evaluating green port performance include five aspects: operational management, environmental technical considerations, financial and economic factors, social elements, and the port information system. The research findings indicate the following: (1) operational management significantly and positively influences green port performance, evidenced by a T-statistic value of 0.221 and a p-value of 0.011; (2) environmental technical aspects have a positive and significant impact on green port performance, with a T-statistic value of 0.356 and a p-value of 0.005; (3) financial-economic considerations positively and significantly affect green port performance, supported by a T-statistic value of 0.161 and a p-value of 0.044; (4) the social aspect exhibits a positive and significant correlation with green port performance, as indicated by a T-statistic value of 0.229 and a p-value of 0.016; and (5) the port information system aspect positively and significantly contributes to green port performance, with a T-statistic value of 0.244 and a p-value of 0.021. The resultant green port performance model from this research demonstrates an R-square value of 0.623 and an NFI of 0.318.
