“…One Belt, One Road (OBOR) is an initiative of the People's Republic of China (PRC) to form the so-called economic belt of the new Land silk route and Maritime silk road of the twenty-first century (Jiang et al, 2018). The strategy was formed at the critical point of China's economic transformation in 2013.…”

European economy, which has globally been one of the most important for centuries, greatly depends on maritime transshipment. According to the European Commission's data, 74% of cargo, which comes to or leaves Europe, uses maritime transport. Therefore, we can clearly see the importance of ports for economic growth. Over the past decades, containerized transport has become one of the most important ways for transporting cargo, so ports needed to adapt with the new equipment and better capacities. In 2000, the container traffic in EU ports represented as much as 21% of all transshipped containers in the world, while, this percentage was only 18% in Chinese ports. Today, China has become a leading country in the container throughput, with a share of 28%, while the EU's share has fallen to 15%.

“…More than 90% of the international trade is transported by ships (Jiang et al 2018 ; Pasha et al 2020 ). In year 2019, about 92,295 ships of 1.98 million deadweight shared in the maritime field activities, and more than 60,000 ships transported billions of tons of cargo worldwide (UNCTAD 2019 ).…”

Shipping faces challenges of reducing the dependence on fossil fuels to align with the international regulations of ship emissions reduction. The maritime industry is in urgent need of searching about alternative energy sources for ships. This paper highlights the applicability of harnessing wind power for ships. Flettner rotors as a clean propulsion technology for commercial ships are introduced. As a case study, one of the bulk carrier ships operating between Damietta port in Egypt and Dunkirk port in France has been investigated. The results showed the high influence of the interaction between ship course and wind speed and direction on the net output power of Flettner rotors. The average net output power for each rotor will be 384 kW/h. Economically, the results reveal that the use of Flettner rotors will contribute to considerable savings, up to 22.28% of the annual ship’s fuel consumption. The pay-back period of the proposed concept will be 6 years with a considerable value of levelized cost of energy. Environmentally, NO x and CO 2 emissions will be reduced by 270.4 and 9272 ton/year with cost-effectiveness of $1912 and $55.8/ton, respectively, at annual interest rate of 10%.

“…By 2050, it is expected to contribute 80% to world GDP growth (HKTDC, 2017). It aims at stimulating the development of port cities and the hinterland areas with the help of the port nodes and at building an economic belt for trade and cooperation through the connectivity between ports and ports, ports and cities and ports and hinterlands (Jiang et al, 2018;Tambo et al, 2019). Obviously, ports are key transportation hubs in international trade.…”

Spatial pattern of location advantages of ports along the Maritime Silk Road

et al. 2021

Location advantages of ports refer to the current developments of ports based on their conditions, such as geographic location, traffic accessibility and hinterland economy, etc., and the spatial pattern of ports' location advantages reflects the spatial distributions, the regularities and the correlations among their conditions for development. A good understanding of the spatial patterns of ports' location advantages can help to better identify the relative advantages of ports, position ports' functions and make strategic plans for development. This paper selected 1259 ports from 63 countries along the Maritime Silk Road as research objects and builds an accessing model to analyze their location advantages on the bases of six factors: the influence of strategic shipping pivot, the competitiveness of port location potential, port network status, the influence of city, the influence of traffic trunk, and road network density in hinterland. The study has the following three findings. Firstly, the location advantages of ports show a "high-low-high" distribution pattern from the west to the east, displaying an obvious "core-periphery" regionalized distribution. Secondly, most ports have high location advantages, mainly located in Strait of Malacca, the United Arab Emirates, northern Mediterranean coastal region and China-Japan region, the top 10 ports are mainly located in Singapore, China, Malaysia and Japan, indicating that the shipping industry in Asia-Pacific region has stepped to the far front of the global competition; slow economic growths, wars, far away from the Belt and Road countries or bad climate have low location advantages, mainly located in African coastal areas, Oceania, Northeast Europe and Russia. Thirdly, compared with the landward location advantages, the seaward location advantages have a higher influence, and different indicators of location advantages have different influences on the evaluation results, the competitiveness of port location potential being the core indicator.
