Formula for Calculation of the Environmental Management Index

The index is calculated for Authorities and Ports aswell by multiplying the weights associated with eachManagement Indicator to the percentage of positiveresponses as described in the formula below:

Index = A*1.50 + B*1.25 +C*1.25 + D*0.25 + E*0.25 + F*1 + G*1 + H*0.75 + I*1,25 + J*1.50 + K*1 + L*1+ M*1.25 + N*1.25 +
