| Abstract | Emission control areas (ECA), are sea areas where ships operate within must use low sulfurbelow 0.10% mass/mass. Concept of ECA is introduced by International Maritime Organization(IMO) and applied in the Baltic sea from 2005 with the target reduce air pollution and enhancequality of life. Although ECA criteria has been instructed in International Convention for thePrevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) Annex VI but member state should follow butnot limit the propose criteria. By using a combined Delphi and Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP) method, a set of criteria for establishing ECA suitable for the conditions of Vietnamseaport group no. 4 (Southeast Vietnam seaport) has been developed through expert opinionsurvey. In order of priority from high to low weight, the criteria include: (i) Human population;(ii) Human health; (iii) Vessel traffic density; (iv) Environmental sensitivity; (v) Seaportdevelopment. The set of criteria for establishing ECA is necessary to ensure the quality of lifeand human health while maintaining seaports operation for socio-economic development. Theresult of study is not only valuable reference information for considering establishment of ECAat Vietnam seaport group no. 4 but also for others seaport group shared similar characteristic. |
