BALTPORTS-IT - IST ____________________________________________________ Non-Monetary Evaluation Methodology for Small and Medium Sized Ports Expected results A generic methodology applicable to small and medium sized Ports assisting in the Operational Planning and Management of the Port by providing:   Lists of Components of the Port System.   Values describing the Presence and the Operational Performance of Components.   Ideal Values or Criteria for Components.   Preferences for Components depending upon their Contribution to the Port System.   Expressions of “Usefulness” or Utility.   Indications of “Where” and “How” Improvements in the Port’s Efficiency can be achieved.

BALTPORTS-IT - IST ____________________________________________________ Non-Monetary Evaluation Methodology for Small and Medium Sized Ports Traditional Monetary Economic Appraisal cannot take account of the combined Usefulness of, e.g.:   Governance of the Port, nor the   Suitability of its: – – Land Access – – Infrastructure – – Suprastructure – – Equipment – – Acquastructure, or – – Maritime Access Approach Baltic Sub-Regional Competence Centre

BALTPORTS-IT - IST ____________________________________________________ Non-Monetary Evaluation Methodology for Small and Medium Sized Ports Approach A Combination of the Principles of:   Multi-Criteria Analysis – (DETR), and   Multi-Attribute Utility Theory “MAUT” – (Zangemeister), resulted in: – – A Knowledge based, Analytical, Hierarchical System, including: Performance Variables and Criteria, User Preferences, Numerical Expressions of “Usefulness” of the System “Port”, A diagrammatical Representation of the Evaluation Methodology.

BALTPORTS-IT - IST ____________________________________________________ Non-Monetary Evaluation Methodology for Small and Medium Sized Ports The Methodology of MAUT implies that:   Global evaluations can be decom- posed into a large number of individual evaluations;   Each component or factor ‘a ij ’ is compared with its ideal value or criterion ‘C ·j ;   Factors are associated with ex- pressions of user preferences;   Factors can be arranged in a multi- dimensional hierarchy referred to, in this text, as concern net (CN).

BALTPORTS-IT - IST ____________________________________________________ Non-Monetary Evaluation Methodology for Small and Medium Sized Ports A Port’s Usefulness or Utility The Methodology views a Port from:   1st, Commercial Ability, Viability and Development;   2nd, the Public Interest; and   3rd, Operational Safety, Security and Environmental Protection. All three Concerns can be related to:   Port Systems and   Systems’ Components >> f(Ownership, Operation) (and Management ) Baltic Sub-Regional Competence Centre

BALTPORTS-IT - IST ____________________________________________________ Non-Monetary Evaluation Methodology for Small and Medium Sized Ports The Appraisal Method Consider the Port’s Institutional, Regulatory, Managerial and Operational Framework as a:   Utility providing a Public Service,   Managerial and Organisational Structure,   Regulatory Body,   Agency for ‘Environmental Safety, Security and Environmental Protection’.

BALTPORTS-IT - IST ____________________________________________________ Non-Monetary Evaluation Methodology for Small and Medium Sized Ports Implementation The Non-Monetary Evaluation Methodology is designed to run on a large number of PCs. It has no special hardware demands beyond those of a typical Window System.   Pentium-III Processor or greater   8MB of system memory minimum.16 MB recommended   27 MB of available Hard disk space minimum.   Microsoft Windows –98 or Windows   Microsoft Office 2000 including MS Excel. On all systems a large monitor is preferred for ease of display Baltic Sub-Regional Competence Centre

BALTPORTS-IT - IST ____________________________________________________ Non-Monetary Evaluation Methodology for Small and Medium Sized Ports Benefits   An Evaluation of the Operational Usefulness of the “Port” under consideration based on “Total Utility”.   A List of Components the “Port System” consists of.   A Comparison of available Resources with those that perhaps should be there to cope most efficiently with the continuously changing Demands made of the Port System according to local Needs and future Developments.   An Expression of Efficiency, Presence or Absence for each Component within the System.   The Usefulness of each Component for the Task it is to perform under local Conditions and to satisfy a local Demand.   Identification of Deficiencies, possible Improvements, Resource Requirements and Investment Needs Baltic Sub-Regional Competence Centre
