Abstract.
The maritime sector, responsible for transporting over 80% of global merchandise by volume, contributes significantly to global CO₂ emissions and faces increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices. This study examines the decarbonization strategies of Pertamina International Shipping (PIS), focusing on the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles within operational, technological, and market-based initiatives. Using a qualitative content analysis approach, the study systematically reviews corporate disclosures, international maritime regulations, and empirical performance indicators to evaluate alignment with global climate targets. Findings reveal that PIS has adopted a four-pronged strategy emphasizing operational efficiency, green vessel design, alternative fuels, and green cargo handling. These measures are reinforced by business diversification, fleet modernization, and carbon reduction technologies. Despite significant progress, challenges remain in scaling alternative fuels due to high ownership costs and infrastructure limitations. The study concludes that sustained investment, regulatory alignment, and innovation are essential for positioning maritime logistics as a driver of low-carbon economic growth in the years ahead.
