A Fuzzy Set Theory to Illustrate the Impact of Fueling Ship Green Fuel and Cost Profitability in Saudi Arabia
1 King Abdul-Aziz University, Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
ABSTRACT: This paper investigates the potential impact of green fuel adoption on the Saudi Arabian maritime industry using fuzzy set theory. We will examine the cost-profitability of green fuel adoption and its implications for the Saudi Arabian economy. By employing fuzzy set theory, we can more accurately predict and analyze the potential impacts of green shipping. This paper will present case studies from the shipping industry that have successfully used fuzzy set theory to optimize green fuel usage and profitability. Moreover, this paper will focus on the use of green fuels as a way of reducing the environmental impacts of the shipping industry in Saudi Arabia. This paper will explore the impact of fueling ships with green fuel in Saudi Arabia and use fuzzy set theory to analyze the cost-profitability of this action.
KEYWORDS: Fuel Consumption, LNG Fuel, Ship Emission, Green Fuel, Ecosystem in Saudi Arabia, Environmental Impact of Shipping, Fuzzy Set Theory, Cost Profitability
