Passenger Attitudes and Waste Management on Ships

The problem of waste management on passenger ships is often observed due to the continuous disposal of rubbish on the deck and into the sea irrespective of the bin provided on each side of the railings.This leads to the collection and sorting of various waste by the ship crew, including plastic, paper, food, cans, and coating materials, which impacts safety management, as well as environmental pollution.Passengers are also not required to commonly have competency and proficiency in ship waste management.Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effects of passenger attitudes on ship waste management, using a Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) and 160 participants in Tanjung Perak Port, Indonesia.The results showed that environmental concerns, as well as passenger perceptions and attitudes strongly influenced solid waste management on ships.
