Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
The research was implemented bearing the intention of determining the effective factors in competitiveness rate of container ports & ranking BIK, Shahid Rajaee port, Anzali port & Amir Abad based on the competitiveness indicators using ORESTE & Shannon entropy methods in two phases. In the 1st phase lying in the country’s ports (rate of competitiveness). In the 1st phase by using Delphi method & studying the background of the research, the effective indicators in ports’ competitiveness of the country were identified & in the 2nd phase by using the known indicators through entropy method & with regard to their importance were weighted & then the ports were ranked according to these indicators & method. The final ranking by ORESTE multi-criteria method for BIK, Shahid Rajaee port, Anzali & Amir Abad ports shows that Shahid Rajaee port at the final ranking of 430.5 enjoys the 1st rank, BIK with the final rank of 444.5 enjoys the 2nd rank, Amir Abad port with the final rank of 476.5 enjoys the 3rd position & finally Anzali port by little difference with the final rank of 478.5 enjoys the last position.
