In recent years, the ports of transit container among the areas develop into the regional international port logistics centers. In order to provide the international enterprise high quality logistics service and increase the additional value of the products, each port is devoted to developing its port logistics operations to improve the competitiveness of ports. This research reviews literatures of port competitiveness, logistics of ports, and integrate the factors of political and economic environment, and develops three aspects and the criteria under each aspect to evaluate the competitiveness of international port logistics center. And utilize the Fuzzy Delphi Method and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process to select the important critera under each aspect and estimate the weight of each aspect and criterion. Finally, utilize Fuzzy Synthetic Decision Method to evaluate the performance of competitiveness of each main port developing the international logistics centers in east Asia area. The result of the study is found, while assessing the competitiveness of international port logistics centres , the experts think that the most important criterion is the geographical position of port, the second is the loading and unloading efficiency of container handing facilities, and the third is the function and technology of the logistics and storage. And then, the experts think that the carrying ability of container base each year and the financial liberalization degree of port are much less influence compared to the other criteria set up in this research for the competitiveness of port developing into the international port logistics centre. Finally, this research analyze the competitiveness of the five major competition port of east Asia. We can find that the port of Hong Kong is the most competitive port while developing into the international port logistics centre, and the next is the port of Singapore, the port of Busan and the port of Shanghai. The last one is the port of Kaoshiung. |
