This paper investigates vessel traffic risks that are exposed by a new port installation. A vessel traffic risk analysis was performed by the Ship Handling Simulator team for container terminal installation in Izmit Bay. The main purpose is to evaluate whether the container terminal project shall affect the proper operation of nearside Oil Refinery Terminal. Construction and revision of shore structures may form significant threats for masters in ports and narrow waterways. The Ship handling simulator of ITUMF presents the environmental objects’ effects, vessel traffic and weather conditions. Furthermore, the Environmental Stress Model of Inoue (2000) may give an opportunity to analyse vessel traffic risks quantitatively by SHS.
In this study, we consider a technology selection problem in maritime logistics based on lifespan, brand value, maintenance, repair, operations and cost. Low cost, acceptable risk, and environment friendly form of transportation are primarily required for the logistics sector. In a conventional holistic approach, technology is firstly selected in terms of its cost. However, in the step-wise manner, it is obvious that other factors (i.e. reliability, sustainability, etc.) directly involve in to the selection process. By using conventional AHP method, we investigate the general tendency of the ship owners and its reflections to the maritime logistics.
