Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the technological innovation, and the importance of using the digitalized database, in facilitating the Port State Control )PSC( asks and digitalizing the current conventions and codes, after being amended to cope with the autonomous innovation to develop a (PSC) pointed-SOLAS ships-for-inspection system and support the upcoming new technology Modern ships which avoids the deficiencies of the existing framework, provides an integrated model capable to select the substandard ships, and acts as a complementary measure to PSC system.
The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Method for Order Preference Based on Ideal Solution Similarity (TOPSIS) models for Making Decisions, Using Multiple Criteria methods were chosen. These methods were used to rank the alternative ships that would be examined in accordance with the adopted targeted variables. The following elements are part of the system for choosing ships for inspection that is proposed in this study: Factors to take into account include the Kell laid, the ship specific, the country of registry, the number of flaws, the overall number of claims, the classification society, the number of unresolved deficiencies, the interval since the last inspection, the ship operators, the investors, and the quantity of casualties and violations.
The form of the convention’s strategy poses a challenge in using this new form of technology. This is apparent, in the absence of regulations, mentioning the Modern ships equipment, as well as, a strategy for using the new technology, through the PSC, to manage and inspect the safe shipping operation to avoid marine accidents and protect the environment. Quantitative and qualitative analyses were combined to achieve the main objectives of the study.
