A Methodology for Selection and Evaluation of Advanced Marine Transportation Systems

—Total Evaluation Using Life Cycle Value Chain Model—

抄録

In the present study, a methodology for planning, evaluating, and measuring an advanced marine transportation system is proposed, which consists of four steps, planning, selecting, evaluating, and measuring. In the methodology, firstly, internal and external factors of an advanced marine transportation system are identified using Internal and External Factors Analysis Summary (IFAS and EFAS) models. Then, strategies for planning an advanced marine transportation system are formulated using Strength Weakness Opportunities Threat (SWOT) model. After that, an alternative advanced marine transportation system is selected using Priority model based on index value of each alternative in which the highest index value of alternatives is selected. The selected advanced marine transportation system is evaluated using Life Cycle Value Chain model by measuring value of each stage in its life cycle. The methodology is applied for planning, selecting, and evaluating an advanced LNG tanker in Arun, Indonesia-Osaka, Japan route. The obtained results are discussed and compared with the conventional one.
