| Summary | As a result of the advent of the large-scale container ships, Carriers may employ Hub and Spoke Network model in order to maximize their profit by calling at hub ports often in stead of calling at feeder ports. Under such circumstances, the demand for Multiple Country Consolidation grows rapidly. Ocean freight forwarders collect less than container-load cargoes from different countries, consolidate them into containers in the hub port and transport the containers to their destinations respectively. This model will enhance the utilization of resources and reduces the transportation cost. Also, ocean freight forwarders are able to increase their business volume and revenue through MCC. Nevertheless, Taiwan’s ocean freight forwarders face various problems and restrictions in developing Multiple Country Consolidation, such as longer time and more expensive cost which will affect the competitiveness of ocean freight forwarders and those calling ports. Taiwan does not have sufficient niche to compete with other ports in the Asia-Pacific region. |
