“…In the logistics and transportation activities of Nantong Port, contract coordination and contractual relationships (Figure 4) are of great importance to ensure transportation efficiency and reduce logistics expenses [26]. A contract between a shipping company and a freight forwarder may clarify both parties' obligations and rights in the transportation process, as well as how to resolve problems in the event of a dispute [27].…”

Considering the port function’s importance, the supply chain’s overall and individual revenues, and the port supply chain’s uniqueness, a game model for a two-stage port supply chain composed of port service providers and port enterprises was developed. Using revenue sharing contracts (RSCs) as a coordination mechanism, game equilibriums were investigated under two conditions: price-sensitive or price-insensitive port logistics service demand. The results suggested that RSCs can achieve Pareto improvement in both cases, thereby coordinating port supply chain revenues. Led by the port logistics service provider and port enterprise, the coordination mechanisms based on RSCs of port supply chain were discussed using logistics service capacity as the coordination link. Despite differing decision orders, the RSC model can coordinate the port’s supply chain with its service provider, while the port and logistics service provider determine the retention ratio. This paper also proposed coordination measures for the Nantong Port, one of the most important ports in China, to maximize the logistics capacity of iron ore supply chain and enhance the port logistics’ value-added services.

“…They concluded that the development of Ningbo port has a significant role in promoting the economy of Ningbo, particularly the secondary and tertiary industries [18]. Some scholars used a fourstage bootstrap DEA method to evaluate shipping efficiency considering the hinterland's economic activities and a stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) or Tobit model to study the influencing factors of the efficiency [19][20][21][22]. Stanković et al compared and monitored various aspects of sustainability with a multi-criteria decision-making framework and the preference ranking organization method for enrichment of evaluations [23].…”

“Port–hinterland synergy” means the development of port and hinterland should promote each other. The “dual circulation” development pattern indicates the requirement of exploring the domestic transportation demand and promoting the integration between ports and hinterlands. However, the current research on the synergy level between ports and hinterlands is not enough to meet the needs of constructing a “dual circulation” development pattern, and few studies have explored the influencing factors of port–hinterland synergy level directly, especially in the context of the new development pattern of “dual circulation”. After investigating the synergetic mechanism between ports and hinterlands, this study proposes to further consider the influence of fixed assets allocation and social commodity circulation on the synergy level under the “dual circulation” pattern. So, fixed asset investment and three different forms of commodity circulation activities are selected to represent the corresponding hinterland’s economic activities and added into the evaluation indices. To assess ports’ responsiveness to different kinds of transport demand, throughputs of each port are divided into those of domestic and foreign countries. Then this paper evaluates the level of port–hinterland synergy by the coupling synergy model, and the influence degree of these activities on the synergy level was studied with the partial least squares regression (PLS). The results show that there is heterogeneity in regional and port positioning in the port–hinterland synergy level, and that four selected economic activities’ improvement can enhance the port–hinterland synergy level. Among them, retail industry has the strongest positive effect, followed by tertiary industry, import and export trade, and fixed asset investment.

“…It is found that DEA is applicable to the confidence intervals for efficiency scores [ 11 ]. The research also examined logistics efficiency with the Four-Stage Bootstrap DEA model [ 12 ]. The DEA model is also combined with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to quantify the efficiency performance of the logistics industry in European countries [ 13 ].…”

Ports are critical centers of international trade and global logistics now that economic globalization has taken hold. The efficiency performance of port logistics is crucial to building an emerging pattern of development in which domestic and foreign dual cycles are complementary for China. This paper examines the efficiency performance of 19 ports within five major economic circles in China. It explores how their efficiency is distributed, and the configurations of efficiency improvement during the new normal of China’s economy. First, the DEA-BCC model is employed to calculate the technical efficiency performance and distribution of each port from 2011 to 2020. Then, fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) was applied to integrate and analyze the influencing factors. The results show as follows: (1) Each port group performed differently on efficiency rankings, as well as regional distributions. Among these, the port groups of the Bohai Rim region, the Yangtze River Delta region, and the Bohai Rim region continue to rank highly. (2) From the perspective of configuration analysis, the results suggest that government support is not necessary for port logistics with better economic endowments. However, it is critical for backward ones. (3) A rational industrial structure can enhance levels of infrastructure, openness, and information technology, improving port performance. The findings can provide theoretical and practical references for better promoting the development of Chinese port management.al references for better promoting the development of Chinese port management.
