Supporting policy making in maritime transport by means of multi-actors multi-criteria analysis: a methodology developed for the Greek maritime transport system

Maritime transportation is an important sector of the economy, strongly dependant on a dynamically changing environment comprising of internal as well as external to the system, parameters and market dynamics. The recent financial crisis that strongly affected maritime transportation in many countries among which, Greece, confirms the need for flexible policy structures able to cope with critical and unstable situations. In this particular multi-dimensional environment, policy making is an important yet delicate process that, if properly structured and exploited, can support the sector's competitiveness and contribute to its ultimate exploitation benefiting also a variety of other interrelated sectors varying from the regional to the global level. This paper presents a methodology developed for supporting policy making in maritime transport in Greece, based on the principals of the Multi- Actors Multi-Criteria Analysis (MAMCA). This research has been co-financed by the European Union (European Social Fund – ESF) and Greek national funds through the Operational Program "Education and Lifelong Learning" of the National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF) - Research Funding Program: Heracleitus II.
