A risk assessment model of work safety in container dry ports

Wen-Kai Hsu et al.

Summary: This study conducted a risk assessment of work safety in container dry ports using a continuous risk matrix based on the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process. It identified risk factors for work safety, estimated their likelihood and consequence weights, and developed a CRM to evaluate the risk level. The empirical study in Vietnam verified the research model and provided practical information for dry port managers to improve work safety.

Assessing port service quality: An application of the extension fuzzy AHP and importance-performance analysis

Thang Quyet Nguyen et al.

Summary: This study investigates port service quality (PSQ) from port users' perspectives using the extension Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process and Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). The research model was validated through an empirical investigation of the Dong Nai port joint stock company (DNPC) and their port-service users. The study identifies the importance degree and top criteria of PSQ, as well as service attributes that need improvement, providing practical policy suggestions for enhancing PSQ.

Port activity and technical efficiency: determinants and external factors

Hilda Ghiara et al.

Summary: Port efficiency and terminal productivity are crucial for current market development. Modern advancements in port technology, such as automation, have the potential to increase terminal productivity but face challenges like high fixed costs and differing legislations. Studies show that external factors like port location can also impact overall terminal efficiency.
