| Abstract: | When it comes to analyzing cruise port performance, port operators have a challenging
task because there are no widely accepted or well-known procedures for evaluating cruise port
performance. Any performance measures used by port authorities are rough and only offer an
approximation of the terminal’s operational performance. Therefore, the purpose of this article
is to present a multi-criteria assessment model to assist port authorities in evaluating cruise port
performance from a multidisciplinary perspective. We investigated the compatibility and utility of
combining the AHP and TOPSIS methods in a proposed MCDA model for assessing cruise port
performance. The AHP method was used to provide the weights of port performance indicators, and
the TOPSIS method was used to assess the port performance and to create a rank list of ports. A case
study involving four Mediterranean cruise ports, Barcelona, Piraeus, Civitavecchia, and Marseille,
was used to show the model’s application. The case study results reveal that the safety–environmental
aspect is the most important aspect in assessing cruise port performance. We compared the proposed
model to a state-of-the-art paper and discovered that our model can successfully cope with various
multi-criteria models for port performance assessment. |
