Analysis of Performance in Container Handling Operation by Using Fuzzy TOPSIS Method

Now days the performance charter of most ports of the world is based on increasing the outcomes of L/U operation, the attempt to measure and analyze the status of such operations through appropriate modern methods is necessary. Aimed to analysis of Performance in Container Handling Operation in the BIK container terminal, the present research has been implemented by use of fuzzy TOPSIS method. The obtained results via FUZZY TOPSIS for BIK container terminal show that Opening and closing the container lashing, Defectiveness of horizontal L/U equipment, Defectiveness of vertical onshore transportation equipment, Unpreparedness of ship, Unpreparedness of contractor, were detected as the most important causes of delay creation in the BIK container terminal L/U operation, respectively.
