Abstract

As ports play a very important role in the national and international flow of goods, with the development of international trade, they face many challenges such as operational congestion, pollution, energy consumption and safety and security issues. Therefore, ports need to increase their operational efficiency and also pay attention to sustainability principles. The smart port is a digital transformation that adopts new technologies to improve efficiency and environmental issues. Existing ports and new ports have to be transformed into smart ports so that countries can get a share from international logistics. Smart port applications vary according to ports characteristics, as port needs are different. Thus, it is necessary to analyze ports to develop compatible smart port applications. However, in the literature, there is a lack of studies focuses on the smart port. The main purpose of this study is to examine smart port dimensions by considering Filyos Port. We have used fuzzy AHP for ordering each dimension and sub-dimensions to relative importance. The findings of the study show that operation is the most crucial factor, which is followed by environment, energy, finance and safety and security, respectively. Finally, we offered suggestions for each smart port dimensions.

Akıllı Liman Faktörlerinin Belirlenmesinde Bulanık AHP Yaklaşımı: Filyos Limanı Örneği

Abstract

Limanlar, ulusal ve uluslararası mal akışlarında önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Limanlar, operasyonel tıkanıklık, kirlilik, enerji tüketimi ve emniyet ve güvenlik sorunları gibi uluslararası ticaretin gelişmesiyle ilgili birçok zorlukla karşı karşıyadır. Bu nedenle limanların operasyonel verimliliklerini artırmaları ve sürdürülebilirlik ilkelerine dikkat etmeleri gerekmektedir. Akıllı liman, verimliliği ve çevre sorunlarını iyileştirmek için yeni teknolojileri benimseyen dijital bir dönüşümdür. Ülkelerin uluslararası lojistikten pay alabilmesi için mevcut limanların ve yeni limanların akıllı limanlara dönüştürülmesi gerekmektedir. Liman ihtiyaçları farklı olduğundan, akıllı liman uygulamaları limanlara göre farklılık göstermektedir. Bu nedenle, uygun akıllı liman uygulamaları geliştirmek için limanları analiz etmek gerekmektedir. Literatürde akıllı limana odaklanan çalışmalar yetersizdir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, akıllı liman boyutlarını Filyos Limanı’nı dikkate alarak incelemektir. Her boyutu ve alt boyutu göreceli öneme göre sıralamak için bulanık AHP yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın bulguları ise operasyonun en önemli faktör olduğunu ve bunu sırasıyla çevre, enerji, finans ve emniyet ve güvenliğin izlediğini göstermektedir. Son olarak, çalışmada akıllı liman boyutlarına yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.
