Abstract

Port state control (PSC) inspections are one of the best ways of improving safety at sea. Therefore, it is vital to determine the parameters that cause deficiencies in the prevention of ship accidents. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the PSC inspection results of Turkish flagged ships using the data mining model. Considering a total of 209 PSC inspection reports resulting in the detention of Turkish flagged ships between 2014 and 2019, the Apriori Algorithm was applied using SPSS Modeler 18.0 software to determine the association rules of deficiencies detected. The study found that the safety of navigation, living/working conditions, and emergency systems are the main factors creating association rules in deficiencies. However, when the deficiencies causing detention were analyzed, the most frequently associated variables were safety of navigation, certificate/documentation, and emergency systems. The results of the study are supposed to be useful for the flag state control mechanism to improve the port state control performance of Turkish flagged ships. We recommend that further research collect more data on the PSC inspection of ships flying other flags to update the proposed models and improve their analysis performance.

Türk Bayraklı Gemiler Üzerine Uygulanan Liman Devleti Denetimlerinin Birliktelik Kuralı Madenciliği ile Kapsamlı Analizi

Abstract

Gemi denetimleri, denizde emniyeti artırmanın en iyi yollarından biridir. Bu nedenle gemi kazalarının önlenmesinde eksikliklere neden olan parametrelerin belirlenmesi hayati önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, Türk bayraklı gemilerin denetim sonuçlarının veri madenciliği modeli kullanılarak analiz edilmesidir. 2014-2019 yılları arasında Türk bayraklı gemilerin tutulması ile sonuçlanan toplam 209 denetim raporu dikkate alınarak, tespit edilen eksikliklerin birliktelik kurallarını belirlemek için Apriori Algoritması uygulaması SPSS Modeler 18.0 yazılımı kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Çalışmada, seyir emniyeti, yaşam/çalışma koşulları ve acil durum sistemleri eksikliklerinin birliktelik kurallarını oluşturan ana faktörler olduğu bulunmuştur. Bunun yanı sıra, tutulmaya neden olan eksiklikler incelendiğinde, ilişki sıklığı en fazla olan değişkenler seyir güvenliği, sertifika/dokümantasyon ve acil durum sistemleri olmuştur. Çalışmanın sonuçlarının, Türk bayraklı gemilerin liman devleti denetimi performansının iyileştirilmesi için bayrak devleti kontrol mekanizmasına faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir. Gelecek çalışmalar için önerilen modelleri güncellemek ve analiz performanslarını iyileştirmek adına daha geniş çaplı bir veri setinin kullanılması tavsiye edilmektedir.
