“Through this program, Indonesia has demonstrated its commitment to supporting the global transition to net-zero emission shipping, in line with IMO’s demands for the maritime transportation industry to adopt alternative fuels, increase energy efficiency, and implement green technology across all port operations,” concluded Annisa Ayu Soraya.
