of the SO, WO, ST and WT strategy alternatives will be found by combining the priority weights obtained in Table 8 with the weights of the main factors S, W, O and T. The final priority values for the strategy alternatives are shown in Table 9.

6. CONCLUSION
In Table 9, it can be seen that the SO strategy has the highest value. The strategies from the highest to the lowest are SO (0.319), WT (0.231), WO (0.227) and ST (0.227) respectively.
It can be seen that the most appropriate strategy was the SO strategy. In other words, a strategy should be adopted to capture opportunities by using strengths for Turkey’s Maritime Transportation Policy. Using the SO strategy is the usage of the maximum of everything and the strategy to ignore the minimums. For SWOT analysis, this could be defined as the strategy for increasing opportunities or using strengths to catch opportunities.
The weak point of the SO strategy is to underestimate the minimums as weaknesses and threats for (SWOT) analysis. It is thought that these can be solved over time. But this may not always be the case. Weaknesses may not be eliminated or the threats that may arise may not be avoided. In this case, other strategies such as ST, WO or WT strategies should be analyzed and their applicability should be examined.
The reason why this strategy can be identified is the decision makers (experts in the maritime field applying the SWOT and AHP method) thought that the strengths and opportunities related to the maritime transportation are more important than other criteria. In SWOT analysis and AHP method, decision-makers are more interested in maritime strengths and benefiting from opportunities has become more attractive.
For further studies, application of SO strategy may be examined in the field of maritime issues in Turkey. Also the same research can be made to any other countries in the world.
