Within the Indonesian National Police, the marine police unit plays a critical role in the post-disaster context, providing vital assistance to communities affected by natural calamities, particularly those related to search and rescue operations (SAR). In order to carry out their duties effectively, the marine police must have access to suitable resources, including appropriate ships. Therefore, this study aims to identify alternative hospital ships that meet the criteria set by the marine police for their operations. To do this, the study uses the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to determine the relative importance of each criteria used to evaluate potential alternatives. By utilizing the AHP method, the marine police can make informed decisions on the selection of hospital support ships that will be used for their search and rescue operations. Ultimately, the goal of this study is to enhance the ability of the marine police to carry out their duties in protecting the safety and security of the Indonesian people. Once the calculations were completed based on the 4 established criteria and 13 sub criteria, the most suitable option for the Hospital Support Ship for the marine police was determined and it is the ship 4 out of other 4 alternativesWithin the Indonesian National Police, the marine police unit plays a critical role in the post-disaster context, providing vital assistance to communities affected by natural calamities, particularly those related to search and rescue operations (SAR).
