| Abstract | This study evaluates the impact of sustainable practices in logistics and transportation among marine traders in Tamil Nadu. As global concerns about environmental degradation and climate change intensify, the maritime industry faces increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices. This research employs a questionnaire-based analytical approach to gather data from marine traders operating within Tamil Nadu’s coastal regions. The study identifies key sustainable logistics practices, including the use of eco-friendly vessels, waste management strategies, and energy-efficient transportation methods. Through statistical analysis, researcher assesses the level of awareness, adoption, and perceived benefits of these practices among marine traders. The findings reveal a significant correlation between the adoption of sustainable practices and improved operational efficiency, cost savings, and enhanced market competitiveness. Moreover, the research highlights barriers to implementation, such as high initial investment costs and a lack of regulatory support. It also examines the role of government policies and industry collaboration in promoting sustainable logistics initiatives. The insights gained from this study contribute to a deeper understanding of the current landscape of sustainable logistics in Tamil Nadu’s maritime sector and provide actionable recommendations for stakeholders. This research not only underscores the importance of sustainable practices for environmental preservation but also emphasizes their potential for enhancing the economic viability of marine trade in the region. Ultimately, this study aims to inform policy decisions and foster a more sustainable future for logistics and transportation in the maritime industry. |
