Kota Kinabalu: Sabah Ports Sdn Bhd proudly announces that Sapangar Bay Container Port (SBCP) and Sapangar Bay Oil Terminal (SBOT) have been awarded the Green Terminal Label Certification by Bureau Veritas, a global leader in certification services.
This recognition underscores SPSB’s unwavering commitment to sustainable port operations and its dedication to continuous improvement in the services provided to port users.
This landmark achievement places SBCP and SBOT among the very first ports in Southeast Asia to receive this prestigious certification.
“We are honoured to be among the first in the region to receive this accreditation. It affirms our longstanding green practices and propels us further in our journey towards aligning with the global maritime sustainability agenda.” Said Datuk Ng Kiat Min, Managing Director of SPSB.
“With SBCP and SBOT now joining the ranks of globally certified Green Terminal ports, we are strategically positioned at the forefront of sustainable port practices.”
The Green Terminal Label Certification, developed by the French-based Bureau Veritas, is a globally recognised standard that acknowledges port facilities for their commitment to environmental sustainability and excellence in operational practices.
A rigorous five-day evaluation was conducted, examining SBCP and SBOT’s environmental initiatives, standard operating procedures, and policies.
The audit focused on eight key pillars: sustainability management, community commitment, sustainable development, green energy solutions, digital integration, employee training, environmental control, and circular economy practices.
Looking ahead, SPSB views this achievement as a catalyst for broader green initiatives and is committed to pursuing green port status across all ports under its management.
