“…This study can be extended in several directions. First, there exist areas wherein several ports are located, such as Zhejiang province, China [33]. It would be worthwhile to analyze the optimal capacities and layout of wave energy converters among these ports to design an efficient grid of wave-energy electricity.…”

Considering the rapid development of maritime logistics, the reduction of energy consumption at ports is important in the sustainable development of global economics. Oceans have been known as sources of clean energy, and wave energy is attracting more and more attention from both scholars and practitioners. Even though much effort has been made to develop advanced technologies of wave energy, it is still not clear how ports and electricity plants will evaluate its performance and make decisions on the investment. This paper analyzed the decision framework of ports and electricity plants that can decide how much to invest into wave energy converters, by considering the uncertainty of wave energy supply. A mathematical model is developed to obtain the optimal decisions of a single port and electricity plant for different cases. We show that in most cases, the port has a no lower motivation for investing in the wave energy than the electricity plant. Our theoretical analyses also shed light on the impacts of the parameters on the optimal decisions. Considering the difficulty in estimating the uncertainty of wave energy supply, we extend the distribution-free model to our problem which can make our model more practical.

One Belt One Road (OBOR) project cover approximately sixty-five percent of the world population and One Road is one of the main sites of the project, including the sea route. The purpose of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road (MSR) is to increase the trade volume between western and eastern ports, especially Chinese ports. MSR will also help economic cooperation between participating countries and increase connectivity between ports located through the route of the project. There is only one OBOR related review article in the literature however, there is no MSR review article. To fill this gap, the main aim of this study is to find out and examine MSR-related articles that contain a perspective of the context, vision, and geographical coverage of the initiative in terms of Bibliometric Analysis factors. The systematic literature review has been applied to obtain secondary data from Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science, and Springer link websites to create our sample. Hsieh and Shannon's (2005) method was applied in this review article as a qualitative research approach. In this research, Petticrew and Roberts's (2008) research model was applied to eliminate unnecessary articles with respect to the study's research criteria. In the research process of the study, 45 out of 224 articles were selected to cover our main research objectives. As a result, this study provides content analysis to classify selected 45 MSR articles that cover different subjects such as transport infrastructure, challenges, and opportunities of MSR, maritime security, port network, transport connectivity, environmental issues.Besides, evaluation of the articles year by year that form our sample was given in a detailed way in the research. The main contribution of this study is grouping the selected MSR articles in terms of their subjects and explaining common points to give ideas to researchers about the studied subjects related to the MSR initiative. For future research, academics and researchers may focus on the methodologies of the MSR-related articles.

“…Also, some researchers focus on the field of transport and logistics management with ''B&R'' initiative and point the importance of transport infrastructure to economic growth of involving areas [5]. Then, there are more and more researches discuss transport infrastructure related problems, especially problems of maritime transport [6], such as transport corridors [7], transport network [8], [9], and port competition [10]. Recently, with the increasing of international influence of CR Express, there is a trend to discuss problems with this new cross-continent railway container transport mode or railway transport with the content of ''B&R'' initiative.…”

Known as the Belt and Road Initiative, China Railway(CR) Express is a cross-continent railway container transport mode between China and Europe, and plays an important role for connecting China and Eurasia market to boost the regional economy. In order to balance cargo flow and improve transport efficiency, this paper proposes a hierarchical multimodal hub location problem with time restriction for CR Express network. A mix integer programming is formulated and derived, and some results are concluded based on our observation and investigation on CR Express. The results illustrate the rail hub location in China with different rail hub number input, and the hinterland of every hub is explored as well. The rail hubs tend to cover more regions first and then be spatially agglomerative in the central and western regions of China. Moreover, we find that the city Wulanchabu that is located in Inner Mongolia Province has the largest hinterland range, and that strong competition among hubs exists in central and western of China, especially for Zhengzhou, Xi'an, Chongqing and Chengdu. INDEX TERMS China Railway Express, hierarchical hub location, mix integer programming, multimodal transport, belt and road initiative.
