Abstract

There are a wide range of chemical cargoes carried in chemical tankers. The chemical tankers are carrying hazardous chemical cargoes in their cargo tanks. When carrying hazardous chemicals in cargo tanks, the coating is required which is to provide safety barrier between the hull plate and the cargo. Therefore, capabilities of cargo tanks are of paramount importance for safe and efficient transport. Tank coatings to be applied to chemical tankers are epoxy coatings, zinc silicate coating, stainless steel coating, and marine line coating. This paper aims at conducting a numerical performance analysis of tank coatings in chemical tankers to contribute decision-making process of shipowner and safety professionals. To achieve this purpose, a multi-criterion decision-making (MCDM) tool is adopted: An Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) under interval type-2 fuzzy set (IT2Fs) environment. The outcomes of the numerical performance analysis showed that stainless steel type tank coating has the best performance since result of closeness coefficient value c( xj) is found 0.55. The findings of the research will contribute chemical tanker ship owners, safety inspectors, naval architects, and safety professionals during decision-making process of ideal cargo tank coating.

IT2Fs-AHP和TOPSIS模型在化工船舱膜性能分析中的应用

化学品罐车运载的化学品种类繁多。化学品船的货舱里装载着危险化学品。当在货舱内装载危险化学品时，要求在船体板和货物之间提供安全屏障的涂层。因此，货舱的能力对安全高效的运输至关重要。适用于化工船的油罐涂料有环氧涂料、硅酸锌涂料、不锈钢涂料和海洋管线涂料。本文旨在对化工船油箱涂料进行数值性能分析，为船东和安全专业人员的决策提供参考。为了达到这一目的，采用了一种多准则决策(MCDM)工具:区间2型模糊集(IT2Fs)环境下的层次分析法(AHP)和理想解相似性排序偏好法(TOPSIS)。数值性能分析结果表明，不锈钢型储罐涂层性能最好，接近系数c(xj)为0.55。研究结果将为化学油船船东、安全检查员、造船师和安全专业人员在制定理想的货舱涂料决策过程中提供参考。
