“…Criteria were selected for comparing fuel cells for onboard use, and fuel cell types were evaluated and ranked according to these criteria using multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). The scoring method uses a weighting system (scale of 1 to 3, with 3 indicating the highest importance) based on the importance of the criteria conducted during the integration and operation of the fuel cell system on the vessel under study [9], as well as a ranking system illustrated in Tables 1-3, ranking the qualitative criteria on a scale 1 to 5, with 5 indicating the highest rank. The final comparison tables provide scores for each of the fuel cell options based on evaluation points and weights assigned to each criterion.…”

This study investigates methods for reducing air pollution in the shipping sector, particularly in port areas. The study examines the use of fuel cells as an alternative to diesel generators. Environmental pollution at ports remains a critical issue, so using fuel cells as an alternative to conventional energy systems warrants further research. This study compares commercial fuel cell types that can be used on a case study very large crude carrier (VLCC) vessel specifically, although the technology is applicable to other vessels and requirements. Seven different fuel cell types were ranked based on five criteria to accomplish this. The proton-exchange membrane cell type was found to be the most suitable fuel cell type for the case study vessel. Based on the input fuel, ammonia-based hydrogen storage has been identified as the most promising option, along with using an ammonia reforming unit to produce pure hydrogen. Furthermore, this study provides an integrated fuel cell module and highlights the economic, environmental, and maintenance aspects of implementing the proton-exchange membrane fuel cell module for this case study. It also calculates the required space as a crucial constraint of implementing fuel cell technology at sea.

“…The aim of this study can be stated as follows [19,20]: (1) It developed an emerging crisis management and assessment architecture grounded in BSCs for corporate operations in response to COVID-19 impacts. (2) It equipped the BSCs with intertwining relations among indicators via DEMATEL to gain more valuable insights.…”

The COVID-19 outbreak has had considerably harsh impacts on the global economy, such as shutting down and paralyzing industrial production capacity and increasing the unemployment rate. For enterprises, relying on past experiences and strategies to respond to such an unforeseen financial crisis is not appropriate or sufficient. Thus, there is an urgent requirement to reexamine and revise an enterprise’s inherent crisis management architecture so as to help it recover sooner after having encountered extremely negative economic effects. To fulfill this need, the present paper introduces a fusion architecture that integrates artificial intelligence and multiple criteria decision making to exploit essential risk factors and identify the intertwined relations between dimensions/criteria for managers to prioritize improvement plans and deploy resources to key areas without any waste. The result indicated the accurate improvement priorities, which ran in the order of financial sustainability (A), customer and stakeholders (B), enablers’ learning and growth (D), and internal business process (C) based on the measurement of the impact. The method herein will help to effectively and efficiently support crisis management for an organization confronting COVID-19. Among all the criteria, maintaining fixed reserves was the most successful factor regarding crisis management.
