Identification of Key Ports in Global Container Shipping Routes Network

Journal Title: 河南科技大学学报(自然科学版) - Year 2016, Vol 37, Issue 6

Abstract

Aiming at the present conditions that the identification methods and measurement indexs of key ports were relatively isolated and single respectively,based on complex network theory,the ports ranking in the shipping routes network was obtained by principal component analysis with the degree,clustering coefficient,betweenness,nearness and flow of ports as index. The top-ranking ports were key ports. The port comprehensive ranking was verified through related analysis. The results show that the distribution of key ports is affected by hinterland positions. Asian and European occupy the leading position in number. Singapore port ranks top one with an absolute advantage. Besides that,ports of Shanghai and Hong Kong rank into the top ten.
