Container Throughput and Liner Shipping Connectivity: An Evidence from Gravity Model / 主要貨櫃港裝卸與定期航線連結度:引力模型的驗證

碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 應用經濟研究所 / 106 / With the development of global trade structure, more than 80% of the cargo are marine-transportation. The performances of liner shipping index and port’s throughput have become one of indicators measuring development of country. This paper explored the roles of throughput and shipping connectivity between countries using the gravity model and cluster analysis. Based on the data of 2006, 2010 and 2014, covering top 50 container ports and 28 countries, we show the empirical tests on the hypothesis of throughput of ports, liner shipping connectivity index (container transport). Moreover, we also identify the core countries of liner shipping connectivity. Our major findings are as follows: firstly, the overall aspects such as port infrastructure index, liner shipping connectivity index have significant influence on bilateral throughput. Secondly, bilateral throughput and shipping connectivity were affected strongly due to China rise up. Finally, according to cluster-analysis, liner shipping connectivity, there were two blocs, Europe, Asia. Europe’s core-bloc develop stably. on the other side, Asia’s core-bloc shifted. Taiwan and Japan’s core position were replaced by Malaysia and Singapore.
