| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立臺灣海洋大學 === 運輸與航海科學系 === 98 === In this paper, we consider the problem of determining efficiency of time charter (T/C) and voyage charter (V/C) of the bulk shipping line between Australia to China (C5 route). However, in this case, some inputs are often shared between T/C and V/C, we apply the Multi-component Data Envelopment Analysis Model (MDEA) proposed by Jahanshahloo et al. (2004) to estimate their efficiencies. The route C5 of bulk carrier A is used as an example and the sample data is from 2005/1 (the first quarter of 2005) to 2009/4(the last quarter of 2005). Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to identify each of the relative importance of inputs, outputs and environmental variable between T/C and V/C for the bulk carrier. The results show that 2007/4, 2008/1 and 2008/2 for V/C; 2007/4 and 2008/4 for T/C are the most efficient, while the difference between efficiencies of T/C and V/C is insignificant. According to trends analysis, we find that the operational efficiency shows declined in both the whole quarter in 2005 and the third and forth quarters in 2008, Overall the efficiency of T/C performs better than that of V/C.
