TÜRK DENİZCİLİK SEKTÖRÜNDE İKİNCİ EL GEMİ ALIMINA KARAR VERMEDE ETKİLİ FAKTÖRLERİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Türk denizcilik sektöründe artan rekabet, filonun maliyet etkin ve sürdürülebilir şekilde yönetilmesini zorunlu kılmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, ikinci el gemi alımları; yeni gemi maliyetlerine kıyasla daha düşük sermaye gereksinimiyle öne çıkmakta, ancak beraberinde çeşitli teknik, ekonomik ve operasyonel belirsizlikleri de getirmektedir. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'deki gemi işletmelerinin ikinci el gemi satın alma kararlarında dikkate aldıkları temel faktörleri belirlemek ve bu faktörlerin göreli önemlerini Analitik Hiyerarşi Süreci (AHP) yöntemiyle analiz etmektir. Çalışmada, literatür taraması ve uzman görüşleri doğrultusunda beş ana kriter belirlenmiştir. Uzmanlar arası karşılaştırmalar sonucu oluşturulan karar matrisi, AHP yöntemiyle analiz edilerek her kriterin ağırlığı hesaplanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, karar vericilere rasyonel ve sistematik bir yaklaşım sunarken, ikinci el gemi piyasasında yatırım stratejilerinin iyileştirilmesine de katkı sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışma hem akademik alanda hem de denizcilik sektöründe karar destek mekanizmalarının geliştirilmesine yönelik bir rehber niteliğindedir.

An Analysis of the Factors Affecting the Decision to Purchase Second-Hand Ships in The Turkish Shipping Sector

Abstract

The increasing level of competition in the Turkish maritime industry has made the cost-effective and sustainable management of fleets a strategic necessity. In this context, the acquisition of second-hand vessels has emerged as an attractive alternative to newbuild investments due to its lower capital requirements. However, such investments are also associated with a range of technical, economic, and operational uncertainties. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to identify the key factors considered by Turkish shipping companies in second-hand vessel acquisition decisions and to evaluate their relative importance using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Based on a comprehensive literature review and expert opinions, five main decision criteria were identified. The pairwise comparison matrix derived from expert evaluations was analyzed using the AHP methodology, and the relative weights of each criterion were calculated. The findings provide decision-makers with a rational and systematic framework for evaluating second-hand vessel investments while also contributing to the improvement of investment strategies in the second-hand shipping market. Furthermore, the study serves as a practical reference for enhancing decision-support mechanisms in the maritime industry and offers a valuable contribution to the existing academic literature.
