Multicriteria Analysis of Alternative Marine Fuels in Sustainable Coastal Marine Traffic

Marine transportation is considered to be one of the most important aspects global services. Due increase in marine transportation, there are significant impacts on environment. One possible measures for mitigation environmental impact could switching environmentally friendly fuel. However, alternative fuel selection process a problem due various criteria and stakeholders that should involved process. The aim this paper demonstrate application multicriteria analysis as decision-support tool coastal traffic. suggested methodology takes into account environmental, technological, economic aspects, ensures participation different priority ranking alternatives based combination Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Simple Additive Weighting (SAW). implementation method considers involvement relevant through evaluation weights performance each with respect criterion. applied case study Croatia, where results demonstrated best all electric propulsion, even though differences opinions perceptions objectives criteria. findings analysis, likely first type area, can serve solid basis strategic planning.
