Using a Data Envelopment Analysis Model to Allocate the Trade Route Operation Cost for Liner Shipping Companies / 應用資料包絡分析法分配定期航線之營運成本

碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 航運管理學系 / 106 / Liner shipping plays an important role in international cargo transportation system. Recently, the supply of container ship fleet capacity exceeds the demand because of the ships are getting larger. Accordingly, many liner shipping companies are using various strategies to increase their competitiveness to face the fiercely competitive liner shipping market. Joint venture and strategic alliances are common strategies used by liner shipping companies to enhance their competitiveness. However, running business under such a framework has to face the problem of allocating cost and resource among partner companies. This study established a mathematical model with the concept of efficiency assessment to allocate the operating cost among partner companies. The available space for a single voyage route is used as the input item and the delivery of the actual distance between the containers in three different specifications is considered as the output item. The result shows that the cost allocation considering both the container delivery volume and the actual delivery distance significantly differences from that determined by the existing distribution methods used by liner shipping companies in alliances. Because the characteristics of transportation and efficiency are taken into account by the proposed model, the cost can be allocated more objectivity and fairly than using traditional method.
