A navigational risk evaluation of ferry transport: Continuous risk management matrix based on fuzzy Best-Worst Method. by Linh Thi Pham, Long Van Hoang

“…This paper aims to evaluate the navigational risk of ferry transport by a continuous risk management matrix (CRMM) based on the fuzzy Best-Worst Method (BMW). Its originalities include developing CRMM to figure out the risk level of risk factors (RFs) for ferry transport and adopting fuzzy BWM to estimate the probability and severity weights vector of RFs. …”
