Determining The Main Criteria Required for The Green Transition of The Maritime Industry in Terms of MTME

Abstract

In this study, the main criteria for the green transition of the maritime industry have been determined, taking into account the criteria determined by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for the year 2050 and beyond. The criteria were prioritized using an AHP approach and the DEMATEL technique. The aim of the study is to determine whether the green conversion can meet the operational requirements of merchant ships. For this purpose, quantitative and qualitative research techniques were used as a hybrid. The ultimate goal of the study is to evaluate the impact of merchant ships, which will be built in the green concept, on the operational needs, within the framework of maritime transportation management engineering (MTME). At the end of the study, a gradual roadmap was presented to the maritime industry, which will prepare a strategic target plan within the scope of the green transition of the maritime industry.
