Abstract

This work describes the application of a methodology for assessment of overtopping consequences at the port of Ponta Delgada, S. Miguel, Azores, by using a multi-criteria analysis (Analytic Hierarchy Process, AHP) on the impact of extreme overtopping exceeding the admissible values. Such approach allows obtaining results based on spatial analysis of the indicators that  characterize the studied port area with respect to their relative importance.
