JPA SEMS

What is it about?

JOHOR PORT AUTHORITY (JPA) is the regulatory body for major ports in Johor covering Johor Port (JP), Port of Tanjung Pelepas (PTP), Private Jetties, Terminals, Development and All Activities within Port Water Limit. JPA and Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) are conducting a study to estimate the emissions due to ship arrival and departure within Pasir Gudang and Tanjung Pelepas Port Water Limit thru Ship Emission Management System (SEMS). The main objective of this system is to calculate and estimate the amount of emission (CO2, NOX, SOX, PM10 and PM2.5), which is released by all ships operating in the port area. JPA already circulate Port Notice No. 47/2017 to implement SEMS by 01 July 2017. The implementation is in line with the JPA Green Port Policy and compliance with MARPOL Annex VI on \"Regulations for the Prevention of Air Pollution from Ships\"; which Malaysia is already rectified. Therefore, each ship entering and operating within Pasir Gudang and Tanjung Pelepas Port Water Limit must submit the information required by the Authority (JPA), pilot and shipping agent for the calculation of emission through Ship Emission Management System (SEMS).
