Abstract
In recent years, increasing green transformation and sustainability-oriented efforts in the maritime sector may soon trigger significant developments in the shipbuilding industry. As in all sectors, it is widely predicted that artificial intelligence will take its place in the shipbuilding industry, digitalization will become established in the sector, and alternative fuel and even sail-assisted shipbuilding may increase. In this study, the shipbuilding industry in T & uuml;rkiye is addressed with a value-oriented approach and deep analyses are applied, and strategies are determined with sectoral participation. In this context, a detailed SWOT analysis was prepared based on a literature review, a review of industry reports and information obtained during site visits. Then, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats were prioritized using the AHP method by taking the opinions of experienced experts from the shipbuilding, shipbuilding sub-industry and maintenance and repair sectors. As a result, recommendations were made on value-oriented approach practices to increase the competitiveness of the Turkish shipbuilding industry in the global system.
