AB  - This study focuses on the strategicimportance of container port selection with regard to container operatorcompanies, logistics firms and other actors of a supply chain. The main focalpoint of this paper deals with two important questions: how a container portand terminal is selected by logistics and marine container operators and whatis the most important factors for decision makers. When an answer is seeking tothese questions, initially it should be necessary to determine the selectioncriteria and decision alternatives in detail. In order to select proper andoptimal container port and terminal, the Analytic Hierarchy Process theory andTOPSIS method were selected and these methodologies were integrated to solvedecision-making problem that related to container port selection. This studyconsists of five stages. In the first stage, a literature review was made. AHPand TOPSIS methods were defined and their steps of these methodologies wereshown in the second stage of this study. In the third stage, numerical analysiswas realized by using an integrated AHP-TOPSIS methods as a hybrid method. Inthe fourth stage, the obtained results were evaluated and depth analysis wasmade by the member of the board of experts. In the final stage, this study wassummarized and final results were shown and the contribution of this hybridmethod to the literature concerning with the container port selection process wasevaluated. In this study, the board of experts that consisted of seven memberswas constructed and they are professionals who play an important role in thedecision making processes in their companies. Therefore, while the members ofthe board of experts were selected by the researcher, to be the seniorexecutive or company owner in the field of the maritime transportation sectorwas determined as the main rule. All selection criteria, decision alternativesand the main goal of this study were determined in the roundtable meetings thatrealized with together the board of experts. Pairwise comparison questions wereprepared by the researcher and were directed to the selected thirty decisionmakers who work in the field of maritime as the senior executive.

N2  - Bu çalışma konteyner operatörleri, lojistik işletmeler ve tedarikzincirinin diğer aktörleri açısından konteyner liman seçiminin stratejikönemine odaklanmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın ana odak noktası iki önemli soruylailgilidir: Bir konteyner limanı ve terminali, lojistik ve deniz konteyneroperatörleri tarafından nasıl seçilir ve karar vericiler için en önemlifaktörler nelerdir. Bu sorulara cevap ararken, başlangıçta seçim kriterlerininve karar alternatiflerinin ayrıntılı olarak belirlenmesi gerekmektedir. Uygunve optimal konteyner limanı ve terminali seçebilmek için Analitik HiyerarşiProsesi (AHP) teorisi ve TOPSIS yöntemi seçilmiştir ve bu metodolojilerkonteyner limanı seçimiyle ilgili karar verme problemini çözmek için entegreedilmiştir. Bu çalışma beş aşamadan oluşmaktadır. İlk aşamada bir literatürtaraması yapıldı. optimal konteyner liman ve terminalini seçmek için AHP veTOPSIS yöntemleri tanımlanmış ve bu entegre yöntemin adımları bu çalışmanınikinci aşamasında gösterilmiştir. Üçüncü aşamada, hibrid yöntem olarak entegrebir AHP-TOPSIS yöntemi kullanılarak sayısal analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir.Dördüncü aşamada elde edilen sonuçlar değerlendirilmiş ve uzmanlar kurulutarafından derinlemesine analiz yapılmıştır. Son aşamada bu çalışma özetlenmişve son sonuçlar gösterilmiş ve bu hibrid yöntemin konteyner liman seçim süreciile ilgili literatüre katkısı değerlendirilmiştir. Bu çalışmada yedi üyedenoluşan uzmanlar kurulu oluşturulmuş ve kurul üyeleri şirketlerinde karar vermesüreçlerinde önemli rol oynayan profesyonellerdir. Bu nedenle, uzmanlar kurulutarafından araştırmacı tarafından seçilirken, deniz taşımacılığı sektöründe üstdüzey yönetici veya şirket sahibi olmak ana kural olarak belirlenmiştir. Tümseçim kriterleri, karar alternatifleri ve bu çalışmanın temel amacı, uzmanlarkurulu ile birlikte gerçekleştirilen yuvarlak masa toplantılarındabelirlenmiştir. Çift yönlü karşılaştırma soruları araştırmacı tarafındanhazırlanmıştır ve üst düzey yönetici olarak denizcilik alanında çalışanseçilmiş otuz karar vericiye yönlendirilmiştir.
