Abstract

Direct reduced iron (DRI) can create significant risks such as ignition, explosion, and fire because of the oxidation reaction in case when DRI undergoes spontaneously heating and comes in contact with oxygen or water. For this reason, the transportation of DRI is classified as a dangerous task of which the inert process should be done in the ship’s holds. Many studies have been conducted on the production and production stages of DRI and other areas of use of inert gas, but no studies have been conducted on the safe transportation of this cargo by ships. This study analyzes the criteria and alternatives for selecting the inert gas system for the benefits of investors and shipowners in the shipping industry. The intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS (IF-TOPSIS) method is implemented to conduct the decision-making process. As a result of this study, preferences for candidate inert gas systems are modelled. Port facility nitrogen generator is selected as the most suitable inert gas system among alternative inert gas systems based on predetermined criteria.
