碩士 / 國立交通大學 / 運輸工程與管理系 / 88 / Transoceanic containerships are built larger and larger to reduce their unit operating costs for liner shipping companies. It would make less profit for large containerships to berth too many ports in a local area. Therefore, a hub-and-spoke network would be a better way for operating liner fleets, in which the bigger and faster ships running on the main routes among the hub ports and, the smaller feeders connects the origins with hub ports or the hub ports with destinations.
It has been more than 10 years that international containerships have been running in the pattern of hub-and-spoke network, but very less papers mention this point, while lots of them talk about airway hub-and-spoke networks. This study is trying to set up a hub-and-spoke model for the international liner ships'' routes, which could describe the conditions of establishment for a hub port by considering the critical flows on the main routes and spokes. This study, based on several international ports in Far-east and North America, also analyze the effects of O-D container flows and the transshipment container flows of the hub and feeder ports on the developing process of a hub port.
