“…The construction of international land-sea transport corridors is meant to promote international trade and regional economic cooperation and strengthen the links and cooperation between countries and regions along the routes by improving transport efficiency and reducing logistics costs. These corridors usually involve multiple countries and regions, connect seaports and inland areas, and realize the fast, safe, and efficient transportation of goods through various transportation modes, such as railways, roads, and waterways [1,2]. As an important corridor connecting different regions, international land-sea transport corridors have had a profound impact on port competition.…”

The development of international land–sea transport corridors has provided more convenient access to the sea for inland areas and promoted the improvement of transportation efficiency, environmental improvement, and the strengthening of international cooperation. However, the construction of international land–sea transport corridors has also intensified competition among the ports, which has extended from the local and regional to the national and even international levels. This paper explores the impact of international land–sea transport corridors on oligopolistic port competition between neighboring countries using the Hotelling model. By setting up the utility of the shipper’s port selection, the equilibrium price, market share, and profit of duopoly ports in neighboring countries are analyzed under different conditions of cross-border land transportation and maritime transportation. It is found that the high cross-border transportation cost of the international land–sea transport corridor is not conducive to increasing the market share of the overseas oligopolistic ports in the region. If the maritime transportation cost of overseas oligopoly ports is too high compared with domestic oligopoly ports, it will offset the land transport advantages brought by international land–sea transport corridors. The findings in this paper could provide support for strategic decision making in port markets and cross-border transport corridor development.
