Abstract

ABSTRACT The growth of Arctic shipping requires effective tools to assess the appropriateness of existing practices on safety and resilience levels, especially in the enforcement of the Polar Code. Understanding such, in this study, we develop a resilience index using the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP). Data collection for the index’s implementation started during a research voyage along the Northwest Passage in Canada. It resulted in 61 valid responses, upon which the relative importance and the level of satisfaction of resilience builders were investigated. The findings indicate that factors that rank high on importance are, in many cases, not that high on satisfaction. This presents dilemmas regarding the effectiveness of the current practices in promoting safe and resilient Arctic shipping management practices. This study fills an important gap in the monitoring of safety and resilience practices in Arctic shipping. In turn, this affects the future actions and research of researchers, stakeholders, and right-holders in the Arctic area.

制定更安全、更有弹性的北极航运弹性指数

摘要北极航运的发展需要有效的工具来评估现有安全和恢复水平做法的适当性，特别是在执行《极地法》方面。理解了这一点，在本研究中，我们使用模糊层次分析法（FAHP）开发了一个弹性指数。该指数实施的数据收集始于加拿大西北航道的一次研究航行。它得出了61个有效的回答，并对韧性建设者的相对重要性和满意度进行了调查。研究结果表明，在许多情况下，重要性排名靠前的因素在满意度方面并不那么高。这就造成了当前做法在促进安全和有弹性的北极航运管理做法方面的有效性方面的困境。这项研究填补了北极航运安全和恢复力实践监测方面的一个重要空白。反过来，这影响了研究人员、利益相关者和权利持有人在北极地区的未来行动和研究。

期刊介绍： Thirty years ago maritime management decisions were taken on the basis of experience and hunch. Today, the experience is augmented by expert analysis and informed by research findings. Maritime Policy & Management provides the latest findings and analyses, and the opportunity for exchanging views through its Comment Section. A multi-disciplinary and international refereed journal, it brings together papers on the different topics that concern the maritime industry. Emphasis is placed on business, organizational, economic, sociolegal and management topics at port, community, shipping company and shipboard levels.
