The Research of Utilizing Analytic Hierarchy Process Method and Importance Performance Analysis Method to Appraisal Huge Vessel’s Maneuvering Factors / 運用層級分析法與重要性表現分析法評估大型船舶操縱因子之研究

碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 商船學系所 / 95 / Ship maneuver is an art. The factors affecting it are many. For example, ship type, horse power, types of propellers , size of rudder, cargo loading, deck area facing wind, and characteristics of vessel; eexternal factors such as weather, tide, current, geology, complexity of maneuvering water area, tug, vessel traffic system; and ship handlers themselves. Safety and efficiency of ship maneuver are considered as an important research issue by the international shipping industry. Excellent ship maneuver aims to pursue ship operational safety and efficient sailing as well as protect environment. However, as those numerous factors are of complexity so ship handlers have not particularly noticed the importance of individual factor on ship maneuver.
This study selected large vessels in and out the Port of Kaohsiung as research objects and applies the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and importance-performance analysis (IPA) to systematically evaluate and analyze the maneuvering factors which affect the safety and efficiency of a very large vessel’s berthing operation. The results show that in terms of the interactions among ‘people’, ‘ship’ and ‘environment’, factors such as characteristics of ship manoeuvre, geographic conditions, traffic conditions and support conditions to the ship tightly correlate to each other and will contribute to an efficient and safe berth operation at a port. Furthermore, this study will provide a reference to a pilot to adopt an efficient and safe ship maneuvering process for a large vessel calling at port.
