Carefully selected ship will be helpful to decrease fuel consumption at sea and minimize
the companies’ variable costs. The selection process can be very complex, which requires
a lot of calculation and qualified people on maritime business and can be highly timeconsuming to determine all available ships during the comparison has been made. To
solve this problem questionnaires have been answered by qualified 30 experts who are
already experienced in marine-field. According to both literature and marine experts
selected “safety of cargo”, “freight cost”, “duration of transportation”, “ease of transition
to new cargo”, “maximum load-carrying capacity in a single voyage” criteria have been
pair-wisely compared and ranked. Criteria ranking has resulted as C1 > C2 > C5 > C3 >
C4 > C6 > C7. The ranked criteria names accordingly are “Safety of cargo” > “Freight
cost”> “Maximum load-carrying capacity in a single voyage”> “Duration of
transportation”> “Ease of transition to new cargo” > “Cargo handling duration” >
“Transportation of different cargo together”. In further articles, it is believed that by
adding the “frequency of voyage” and “total voyage length” criteria and comparing vessel
types as alternatives may be very useful for literature.
