Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, konteyner taşımacılığında doğrulanmış brüt kütlenin tespiti için yapılan uygulamanın eksikliklerini tespit etmek, bu eksiklikler üzerine anket yapmak ve anket sonuçları üzerinden çözüm önerileri getirmektir. Bu çalışmada Doğrulanmış Brüt Ağırlık Uygulamasının faydalı olduğu, liman operasyonlarını olumsuz etkilemediği, tartım ücretine tavan ücret getirilmesinin faydalı olduğu, ihracatçıya ekstra maliyet ve iş yükü getirdiği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca anket sonuçları literatüre yeni sunulan demokratik ağırlıklandırma ile desteklenmiştir. Demokratik Kantar, malların fiyatına, miktarına, üreticilerin ürettiği ürünlerin ağırlığına ve limanlardan en çok yüklenen ürünün cinsine göre tartım ücretinin belirlenmesi olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu sayede hem küçük ölçekli hem de değer üreten firmalar desteklenecek, büyüme patikası için daha rekabetçi bir yapı sağlanacak ve demokratik tartımla adil bir ticaret ortamı sağlanacaktır.

AN ANALYSIS FOR THE IMPACT OF VERIFIED GROSS MASS IMPLEMENTATION ON PORTS AND EXPORTERS AND A POLICY PROPOSAL: “DEMOCRATIC WEIGHING”

Abstract

This study aims to determine the deficiencies of the application for the determination of the verified gross mass in container transport, to conduct a survey on these shortcomings and to propose solutions through survey results. In this study, it has been found out that Verified Gross Mass Implementation is useful, it does not affect port operations adversely, it is beneficial to bring a ceiling fee to the weighing fee, and it brings extra costs and workload to the exporter. In addition, the survey results were supported with the democratic weighting that has been newly presented to the literature. Democratic Weighing is defined as determining a weighing fee according to the goods’ price, quantity, weight of the products that producers produce, and the type of the product which is most loaded from the ports. In this way, both small-scale and value-producing firms will be supported, and a more competitive structure will be provided for growth path and a fair-trade environment will be provided through democratic weighing.
