A questionnaire is developed to collect data from port managers and logistics experts. The AHP method is utilized to rank the ports using the collected data. Sensitivity analysis is conducted on the obtained data to verify the consistency among data and outcomes. Crown Copyright (C) 2015 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
