Abstract

As general cargo ships (GCSs) hold certain advantages over more mainstream shipping services, GCSs have a considerable degree of importance in the shipping market. This paper focuses on the use of risk evaluation procedures to perform empirical analysis of the operational risk faced by GCS operators, which is a subject that has garnered relatively little academic attention. After identifying risk factors, four risk aspects and 16 operational risk factors are determined and used to construct an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)-based risk matrix evaluation model. An expert questionnaire addressing both subjective and objective facets is then used to perform evaluation of the model, enabling conversion of the relative weights to risk scales. Lastly, the determination of each risk factor’s risk areas allows the proposal of risk management strategies. The results indicate that four of the risk factors are in the high risk area; these consisted of the loading stage factor “delays at port of loading,” the laden voyage stage factor “poor stowage and securing,” the laden voyage stage factor “perils of the sea,” and the discharging stage factor “delays at port of discharge.” This paper also proposes risk management strategies on the basis of the experts’ recommendations, and its findings can provide shipowners and charterers with a reference for the drafting of risk clauses when entering into a charter party.

评估杂货船运营商的运营风险
与主流航运服务相比,普通货船(GCS)具有一定的优势,因此在航运市场中具有相当重要的地位。本文的重点是利用风险评估程序对通用货船运营商面临的运营风险进行实证分析,而这一课题在学术界受到的关注相对较少。在确定风险因素后,确定了四个风险方面和 16 个运营风险因素,并利用这些因素构建了基于层次分析法(AHP)的风险矩阵评估模型。然后,利用一份涉及主观和客观方面的专家问卷对模型进行评估,从而将相对权重转换为风险等级。最后,确定每个风险因素的风险领域,从而提出风险管理战略。结果表明,有四个风险因素处于高风险区域,分别是装货阶段因素 "装货港延误"、载货航程阶段因素 "积载和固定不良"、载货航程阶段因素 "海上危险 "和卸货阶段因素 "卸货港延误"。本文还在专家建议的基础上提出了风险管理策略,其研究成果可为船东和租船人在签订租船合同时拟定风险条款提供参考。
