Abstract

Ports, as the country's gateway to international trade, play an important role in the maritime transport chain. Port choice is one of the challenges for members of the maritime transport chain. The purpose of the research is to find the needs of our country's international transportation companies in the form of factors affecting their port choice. These factors are used to measure the performance of the three ports of Shahid Rajaee, Imam Khomeini and Chabahar by the AHP method, and finally examined the optimal modes of inland transport. The research method is that two questionnaires are used to determine the measurement criteria and obtain the results of pairwise comparisons. The first questionnaire is completed by fifteen experts in the transportation industry, and the second questionnaire is completed by eleven CEOs of international transport companies that worked with all three evaluated ports. The study is conducted from May to January of 2019. The findings of the study are that the criteria for maritime transport rate, frequency of transport lines, inland transport rate, reputation, security and safety of transport lines and frequency of shipping lines are identified as the five most important criteria in port choice.
