AHP 분석에 의한 선박안전관리대행업체 평가요인 중요도 분석

Abstract

Marine accidents have influence over a seafarer’s life, the property on the ship and cargo, as well as the environment at sea. According to the analysis of marine accident, most accidents usually happened as a result of human error, in the form of negligence, improper maneuvering of the ship, violating international regulations for preventing marine accidents. As result, many countries adopted the ISM Code for preventing marine accidents and enforcement of the ship’s safety management. The Korean government also legislated a maritime safety law for systematic safety management on Korean flag ships, and ship owners can now outsource their ship’s safety management, to a safety management company, under this law. However, there are many small companies without professionalism because it’s easy to enroll a safety management company abiding by only this basic requirement. As a result, requests for improvement of business expertise are increasing through the objective evaluation system, in the safety management market. Therefore, in this paper, we defined evaluation items for safety management companies through brainstorming with expert group, and then we carried out a survey to two groups (evaluator group, examinee group), and identified the weights of importance determinants in evaluation, using AHP. We also carried out statistical tests to determine the perception gap of weights between the evaluator group and the examinee group. The weights for evaluation of the ship’s safety management company had been identified, and there are differences of weight between the two groups, We learned that the evaluator group considered the staff’s safety education, education & training system and safety quality improvement rate, to be more important. On the other hand, in the examinee group, customer satisfaction and system management results, such as ISO 9001, OHSAS 18001, are treated more importantly than others. In conclusion, we can put the evaluation items and the importance to practical evaluation of safety management ability under responsibilities of the safety management company.
