This study identifies the effective factors on good governance in the Ports and Maritime Organization by comprehensively reviewing the existing literature and then using fuzzy Delphi method to refine the components based on the opinions of experts and then analyzing the relationships between the components of good governance using the Fuzzy Dematel technique. Findings show that the component of "Responsibility" has the most impact,influens and most of the interaction and communication with other components is among the other components of good governance.
