KUCHING: The Miri Port Authority (MPA) has once again claimed the prestigious Premier of Sarawak Environmental Award (PSEA), winning the 11th PSEA 2023/2024 under the Government Sector Category.
The accolade was presented during an esteemed ceremony at a renowned hotel here.
This marks MPA’s second consecutive victory, having also been named champion in the 10th PSEA Awards for 2021/2022.
Accepting the award on behalf of MPA were general manager, Serawa Budol, and assistant general manager of Corporate, Planning and Technical Department, Chin Hui Seng.
The duo received a trophy, a certificate, and a mock cheque for RM10,000 from the Premier, Datuk Patinggi Tan Sri Abang Johari Tun Openg.
The award highlights MPA’s steadfast commitment to environmental sustainability. The authority has consistently integrated environmentally responsible practices into its daily operations, aligning with the Sarawak government’s sustainability goals and aspirations.
In addition to offering reliable and cost-effective services, MPA prioritises its social responsibility by maintaining a clean and safe marine environment. This achievement further strengthens the organisation’s position as it embarks on its transformation into a deep-sea port by 2030 and beyond, with environmental considerations at the forefront of its developmental agenda.
MPA’s dedication to excellence is reflected in its certifications, which include the Quality Management System (MS ISO 9001:2015), Environmental Management System (MS ISO 14001:2015), and Occupational Health and Safety Management System (MS ISO 45001:2018). The authority is also in the process of obtaining the Anti-Bribery Management System (ABMS) certification (MS ISO 37001:2016), expected later this year.
Since its participation in the PSEA in 2018, MPA has consistently excelled, first securing a Gold award and subsequently earning the Champion title in 2021/2022 and 2023/2024. This remarkable track record underscores the organisation’s unwavering commitment to sustainability and operational excellence.
