模糊層級分析法應用於選擇船級協會關鍵因素之研究

The Application of Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process to the Selection of Key Factors of Classification Society

航商選擇合適的船級協會除了可以及時提供協助外，在面對海事案件或是港口國管制時，亦能夠協助減少損失或是降低船舶遭到滯留機會。本研究邀請多位專家學者進行問卷訪談，在本研究擬定的船級協會信譽、財務費用因素、市場因素及專業技術因素等構面提供專業判斷，後續在模糊層級架構下進行分析，進而找出航商會因何種因素影響到選擇船級協會的情形。根據本研究分析結果顯示，當中以「港口國檢查記錄」、「船舶入級及檢驗費用」與「安全標準和海洋環境維護」為優先考量的因素。此外，研究成果中亦顯示出目前學術界與實務上航商選擇船級協會的考量因素近似的現象，期許本研究成果可以提供航商在選擇船級協會時的建議參酌。

"The selection of classification society is an important issue for shipping companies. Especially in the face of maritime cases or Port State Control (PSC), in addition to providing timely assistance, appropriate classification societies can also effectively reduce the loss of shipping companies or the chance of being detained. In this study, a number of experts and scholars were invited to conduct questionnaire interviews, and the dimension of classification society reputation, financial cost factors, market factors, and professional technical factors, which were prepared through the integration, in order to provide professional judgment. And the subsequent analysis was carried out under the fuzzy hierarchy to find out due to what factors the shipping company has affected the selection of classification society. According to the analysis results of this study, ''Port State Control Inspection Records'', ''Ship Classification and Survey Fees'' and ''Safety Standards and Marine Environment Maintenance'' are the priority considerations. In addition, the research results also show that the current teaching content of the academic world is in line with the practical situation. It is hoped that this research result can provide suggestions for the shipping companies in selecting the classification society."
