Abstract

Previous studies have found that the occurrence of maritime accidents often lacks a sound environment management mechanism. The reason is that maritime safety needs management functions to promote each other. This study aims to assess the risk analysis of maritime accidents, applying balanced scorecard (BSC) concepts integrating decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) with analytic network process (ANP). The empirical results are that the balanced scorecard could be applied as a maritime procedure management method in maritime risk analysis. A total of 30 questionnaires were collected via scholar questionnaire, and five criteria or key factors for strengthening risk assessment of marine accidents were determined. According to the application of BSC, the risk analysis criteria constructed can assist maritime authorities to reduce the maritime accidents.

Highlights

IntroductionThe rapid development of China’s economy has promoted the growth of economy, trade, and shipping between Taiwan and the Chinese mainland; an increase in the number of maritime ships in Taiwan and other countries was observed
This paper aims to achieve these objectives (1) to examine the environment factors on human factors that contribute to the maritime accident applying balanced scorecard (BSC) and (2) to prioritize the significant factors with the maritime safety criteria through fuzzy AHP
decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) and analytic network process (ANP) are proposed by a hybrid Multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) model to determine the impact of each perspective and criterion and measure the importance of each factor

Summary

Introduction

The rapid development of China’s economy has promoted the growth of economy, trade, and shipping between Taiwan and the Chinese mainland; an increase in the number of maritime ships in Taiwan and other countries was observed. This information shows that Taiwan plays a key maritime role in Asia and the world. It means that any maritime accident in Taiwan will have a negative impact on the maritime transportation of Taiwan, China, Asia, and even the world
