Abstract

The global shipping industry, which accounts for more than 80% of international trade, is under increasing pressure to implement sustainable practices to reduce environmental impact. Green shipping technology, such as low-emission fuels, digitalized logistics, and energy-efficient systems, is critical for lowering maritime pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. This study investigates the confluence of English language proficiency and the deployment of these technologies in Indonesian ports. English is the language franca in maritime operations, so good communication is critical for implementing advanced sustainable practices. Ports with proficient English-speaking personnel, such as Singapore and Rotterdam, show stronger incorporation of green technologies, emphasizing the value of language skills. The study underlines that increasing English proficiency among maritime personnel in Indonesia can increase the country’s competitive-ness, operational efficiency, and compliance with international environmental norms. Finally, the findings call for targeted language training and investment in sustainable infrastructure to allow the effective transition into green ports and environmentally friendly maritime operations.
