It was applied to identify and assist port administration with respect to se- curity risks at the container terminal at Kaohsiung Port in Taiwan. |
The authors use the triangular fuzzy num- ber and the Chang (198115 CHANG W. 1981. Ranking of fuzzy utilities with triangular membership functions. In: Proceeding
of
International Conference on Policy Analysis and Information Systems. pp. 263-272.) method for defuzzification. |
Chou and Yu (201317 CHOU CC & YU KW. 2013. Application of a new hybrid fuzzy AHP model to the location choice. Mathematical problems in engineering.) |
It was applied to evaluate the competitive environmental relations among the sites of international distribution centers within the ports of the Asian region. |
The authors adopt the triangular fuzzy number and the Chang (198115 CHANG W. 1981. Ranking of fuzzy utilities with triangular membership functions. In: Proceeding
of
International Conference on Policy Analysis and Information Systems. pp. 263-272.) method for defuzzification. |
Chiu et al (201416 CHIU RH, LIN LH & TING SC. 2014. Evaluation of green port factors and performance: a fuzzy AHP analysis. Mathematical problems in engineering.) |
It was used to assist port organizations in choosing the priority attributes of the green port operation, that is, a sustainable port concept that minimizes environmen- tal pollution. The approach was applied to the ports of Kaohsiung, Taichung and Keelung in Taiwan. |
The researchers use the triangular fuzzy number. However, they do not comment on the defuzzification method applied. |

It was used in the container terminal at Evergreen Marine Corp. (EMC), in the port of Kaohsiung, to measure the impor- tance, satisfaction, and dissatisfaction of users in relation to the services provided by EMC. In addition, it helps to identify problems and improve the quality of EMC services. |
The researchers use the method of Kauf- mann and Grupta (1988) for defuzzifica- tion and the triangular number that were used in the present study. |
Palacio et al (201544 PALACIO BAD & LOZANO S. 2015. A decision-making model to design a sustainable container depot logistic network: the case of the port of Valencia. Transport., pp. 1-12.) |
It was used to determine the environmen- tal impacts of container deposits at the Port of Valencia in Spain. |
The triangular fuzzy number and the method proposed by Kwong and Bai (200335 KWONG CK & BAI H. 2003. Determining the importance weights for the customer requirements in QFD using fuzzy AHP with an extent analysis approach. IIE Transactions, 35(7): 619-626.) are the ones used by the authors. |

|
It was used to calculate the quantita- tive importance of each factor, prioritiz- ing the operational measures of energy ef- ficiency of ships, and thus, helping the decision-making in the shipping industry. |
The triangular number is applied in this work, but the method used for the defuzzification is not mentioned. |
