Abstract (English):	Worldwide chemical industry depends on the transport of large quantities of liquid chemicals by maritime tankers. Chemical cargoes have different properties and many of them contain different hazards for both human life and marine environment. Even a small error, which will happen on a chemical tanker and management process, can cause catastrophic consequences both for human life and marine environment. Turkish chemical tanker fleet has been growing twice for last three years and will be growing more than average growing size of all Turkish merchant marine fleet and world marine fleet by following years. This growing size constitutes its own risks. Therefore, Turkish chemical ship management companies need to be managed with strategic management principles. Strategic management consists with four main steps: first one is investigating the present situation; the second one is investigating where to go; third one is strategy making step: 'how to go' and last step is control and measurement step. Every organization and program constitute its strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Considering these strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT), several strategies are derived for converting the threats into opportunities, and offsetting the weaknesses against the strengths. SWOT analysis is intended to maximize both strengths and opportunities, minimize the external threats, and transforms the identified weaknesses into strengths and to take advantage of opportunities along with minimizing both internal weaknesses and external threats. SWOT Analysis is one of the best ways for observing present situation during strategic management process. Therefore, SWOT Analysis method is used for investigating the present situation and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is used for weighting the SWOT factors. Analytical Hierarchy Process is a mathematical model that is used for solving decision problems. AHP can deal with qualitative attributes as well as quantitative ones. By utilizing AHP, relative priorities of factors can be obtained. By utilizing the AHP in SWOT analysis, individual SWOT factors can be weighted and rated quantitatively. In this paper, present situation of world and Turkish chemical fleet is investigated with all details; positive and negative factors that are affecting the chemical tanker management processes observed with SWOT analysis method and these factors are weighted with AHP method for observing the priority of factors. According to the SWOT-AHP application results, most common strengths for Turkish chemical tanker management companies are present training institutions and inspection of chemical tankers continuously; weaknesses are inadequate human resources, inadequate training, fatigue of seafarers and inadequate organisational structure; opportunities are ergonomic design of new-built ships and developing technologies which are affecting ship management processes positively and threats are worldwide officer shortage, increasing ship management, fuel and ship construction costs and inadequate coordination between Turkish chemical tanker management companies. When the chemical tanker management company divided into three parts as commercial management part, technical management part and ship part, the ship is more affected from weaknesses and threats rather than other parts. According to observed weaknesses and threats, detailed model strategies produced for converting the present weaknesses into strengths and present threats into opportunities. These model strategies are: consisting appropriate management structure for chemical tanker management company; application of fuzzy logic multi criteria decision making models for chemical tanker selection and investment case problem for a ship owner; Application of fault tree analysis (FTA), event tree analysis (ETA) methods for chemical tanker processes and case accident investigations and proposed critically analysis based corrective actions according to these observations; Created software named as 'Seafarer evaluation and training software' (SETS) which can evaluate seafarers' performances quantitatively and recommend individual training programs for each seafarers. The main aim of this study is constructing strategic management structure for Turkish chemical tanker management companies and consequently creating safer, environmentalist and profitable chemical tanker shipping in Turkey by utilizing developed strategies which are developed in this study.

Abstract (Turkish):	Kimyasal tankerlerde taşınan yüklerin çok farklı teknik özellikleri vardır ve bu yüklerin birçoğu in-san hayatı ve çevre için tehlikeler içermektedir. Bu gemilerdeki küçük bir hata bile, büyük felaket-lerle sonuçlanabilir. Türk kimyasal tanker filosu, geçtiğimiz üç yıl içinde iki kat büyümüştür. Bu bü-yüme, beraberinde bazı riskleri de ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu yüzden, Türk kimyasal tanker işletmeleri-nin stratejik yönetim ilkeleriyle yönetilmeleri gerekmektedir. SWOT analizi yöntemi, strateji üret-menin ilk adımı olan bulunulan konumun tespitinde kullanılan yöntemlerden en etkili yollarından biridir. Bundan dolayı, mevcut durum tespitinde güçlü yanlar, zayıf yanlar, fırsatlar ve tehditler (SWOT) analizi yöntemi ve bu yöntemle elde edilen faktörlerin ağırlıklandırılmasında analitik hiye-rarşi süreci (AHP) kullanılmıştır. Bu makalede, dünya ve Türk kimyasal tanker işletmeciliği detaylı olarak incelenmiş; kimyasal tanker işletmeciliğini etkileyen pozitif ve negatif faktörler SWOT anali-zi yöntemiyle tespit edilmiş ve bu faktörler AHP yöntemiyle ağırlıklandırılmıştır. Daha sonra, zayıf yanları güçlü yanlara, tehditleri ise fırsatlara çevirecek model stratejiler üretilmiştir. Bu modeller, kimyasal tanker işletmeciliği için yönetim ve organizasyon yapısı oluşturulması; karar verme yön-temlerinin gemi işletmeciliğinde kullanılması ve örnek uygulama; tehlike analizi yöntemlerinin kim-yasal tanker işletmeciliğinde kullanılması ve örnek kaza değerlendirmeleri; personel değerlendirme ve eğitimi için tasarlanan ve gemiadamlarının performanslarının sayısal olarak değerlendirilerek sonuca göre uygun eğitim programı öneren DEPEDES yazılımıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türk kim-yasal tanker işletmeleri için stratejik yönetim modeli oluşturarak, Türk kimyasal tanker işletme en-düstrisini daha emniyetli, daha çevreci ve daha karlı hale getirmektir.
