“…There is differentiation in port connectivity having regional agglomeration. In order to further analyze the status of trade transportation between inter-regions and intra-regions, this paper adopts the mode of spatial arrangement and the concentration of regional total traffic flows, regional internal traffic flows and regional external traffic flows to research the Maritime Silk Road regional relevance [50,51].…”

Under the strategy of "One Belt and One Road", this paper explores the spatial pattern and the status quo of regional trade relevance of the Maritime Silk Road shipping network. Based on complex network theory, a topological structure map of shipping networks for containers, tankers, and bulk carriers was constructed, and the spatial characteristics of shipping networks were analyzed. Using the mode of spatial arrangement and the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, this paper further analyzes the traffic flow pattern of regional trade of three kinds of goods. It is shown that the shipping network of containers, tankers and bulk carriers are unevenly distributed and have regional agglomeration phenomena. There is a strong correlation between the interior of the region and the adjacent areas, and the port competition is fierce. Among them, the container ships network is the most competitive in the region, while the competitiveness of the tankers network is relatively the lowest. The inter-regional correlation is weak, and a few transit hub ports have obvious competitive advantages. The ports in Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia are the most significant. The research results combined with the Maritime Silk Road policy can provide reference for port construction, route optimization, and coordinated development of regional trade, which will help to save time and cost of marine transportation, reduce energy consumption, and promote the sustainable development of marine environment and regional trade on the Maritime Silk Road.

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on peripheral ports, hub ports and concentrationdeconcentration factors. This is an issue, as investments in port development in more peripheral locations are challenging due to the difficult financial situation currently faced by the maritime industry. Design/methodology/approach-This paper presents a narrative literature review focusing on peripherality in the context of seaports and transport. Moreover, it gathers the reasons why ports concentrate-deconcentrate, and how these factors evolve over time. Findings-This paper develops a future research agenda for peripheral ports. Practical implications-The paper provides insights for ports in developing countries in their efforts to upgrade their port facilities and infrastructure. Originality/value-This paper contributes to the research on ports in peripheral locations which have been under studied compared to larger hub ports.

“…An effective adjustment in production scale is essential to the overall development strategy and resource allocation of a country's ports, which relies on the country's geographical location, factor endowment, industries, and competition of hinterland and regional ports. For example, when faced with competition from Singapore and Port Klang and Tanjung Pelepas of Malaysia adopted inter-regional flows as its strategy to adjust factor inputs, and became the fastest-growing port and transshipment center [54]. Compared to import/export ports, a transit port tends to have significantly better performance [55].…”

Abstract:The regional growth of the goods and services trade has placed greater pressure on the ports of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) members, especially in the developing countries. The purpose of this study is to apply the generalized metafrontier Malmquist productivity index (gMMPI) to compare the port productivity of developed countries (DCs) and developing countries (LDCs) in APEC. The results indicate that, first, the average rate of utilized capacity among the ports of APEC members was only 65.7% during 2002-2011, which means that another 34.3% of additional through put can be handled with the same level of resources. Second, the average productivity of the container ports in the DCs appeared to be higher than those located in the LDCs. The main sources of productive growth in the DCs were based on scale efficiency change (SEC), technical efficiency change (TEC), and potential technological relative change (PTRC), while the main source of productive growth in LDCs was based on SEC. Third, SEC appeared to be the dominant factor that affects the utilization of all ports.
