- Abstract
The negative impact of ah pollution on human health had become a vital issue as a result of the increasing use of fossil fuels in recent years. In this context, maritime transportation is one of the most contaminant sectors by using much more fossil fuels. Ships which have a major role in maritime transport, directly affect human health via its emissions, especially hi marine areas close to tlie land such as around the ports, canals, and straits, hi this study, strategies were gathered by evaluating International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations, European Union (EU) recommendations and the applications of the ship owner companies to reduce ah pollution stem from ships, and considering the priority perception of these strategies, the effect level of the strategies at the marine areas where ships aie approaching tlie land was analysed by tlie Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process-Visekriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (AHPVIKOR) hybrid method. As a result of the study, the most effective strategies appealed as "Forbiddance of Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) usage on Ships" and "Detection of Low Sulphur Fuel Usage by tlie help of Remote Detector Systems", and it was seen that these strategies w ould be most effective in canal or strait passing of the ships. It was also revealed that tlie relevant expert opinions and IMO regulations meshed together, and it was pohited out die apphcations for increasing fuel quality.
