| Summary | Owing to the trend of adopting hub port for container transshipment has become the global tendency, the analysis of port connectivity from the view of maritime network has also become a influential indicator to evaluate port competition.
This study collects and categorizes some evaluation measurement of port connectivity through reviewing of previous research namely network analysis, LSCI, LSBCI and slot capacity analysis. We finds out that the first two analysis can reflect the capable strength of being a hub port and LSBCI could be the comparison of the port connectivity between Taiwan and the rest of world. Moreover, the slot capacity analysis can use to estimate directly the port connectivity and the competition situation for each other by observing the modification of deployed vessel and the entrance of new shipping lines. For the part of case study, we adopt the LSCI method to compare the connectivity between Taiwan port and the surrounding Asian ports. It shows that Taiwan’s LSCI ranking rose by two to thirteen while the index growth ratio is still behind South Korea. In addition, the average ratio of South Asian ports is between 20 and 35, with a low proportion among Asia area, which could be the explanation of the high transshipment volume in Taiwan ports coming from South Asia ports. |
