eventually a hub for the region. With a number of load centring and hubbing
strategies pursued, the facilities and services in Port Klang are now
synonymous to those of World class ports. Port reception facilities for
garbage are a facility must be provided by the State which recognizes the
MARPOL 73/78 annex v. Thus, Port Klang Authority (PKA) did not miss to
provide this service for port user. But, until now there is no study of the
implementation of port reception facilities by PKA. In this study, there are

reception facilities for garbage. Among these factors are the port reception
facilities for garbage, location of port reception facilities, type and quantity of
receptacles, operation and schedule of Collecting garbage, and garbage

by researchers with the parties involved in the management of port
reception facilities for garbage at ports such as PKA and contractors Involved
