The Safety of Ship Berthing Operations at Port Dock - A Gap Assessment Model Based on Fuzzy AHP

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the safety of ship berthing operation s at port dock. Based on the features of ships berthing operations and the relevant literature, the safety factors SFs ) of ship berthing at port docks are first investigated. A gap assessment model based on Fuzzy AHP is then proposed to assess the perceived differences on those SFs between port marine pilots and shipmasters. Finally, the ships berthing operations at...
