“…In Europe, inter-port competition is intense (Sanchez Rodrigues et al, 2014;Notteboom and Yap, 2012). Useful applications have considered for example competition and cooperation strategies amongst container hub ports and shipping companies within a game theoretic design model (Anderson et al, 2008;Asgari et al, 2013), but they rarely focused on the competitiveness of particular container terminals (Saeed and Larsen, 2010). An understanding of the determinants of competitiveness assists TOCs to formulate effective strategies (Lee and Kim, 2011).…”

“…Li and Oh [7] focus on the study of the competition and cooperation between neighboring ports; several models are developed in the research to analyze the relationship between Shanghai port and Ningbo-Zhoushan port. Saeed and Larsen [8] discuss a two-stage game that involves three container terminals located in Karachi Port in Pakistan, the concepts of ''characteristic function" and ''core" are used to analyze the stability of these coalitions and this revealed that one combination does not satisfy the superadditivity property of the characteristic function and can therefore be ruled out. Hwang and Chiang [9] explore causal relationships between influence factors, types of port cooperation (i.e.…”

Abstract:Under the liberalization of port competitive service charges of China, the paper focuses on the pricing strategy of port charge in order to transform the rates from government guidance or uniform charge into market regulation, comparing the port charge as well as its throughput under the scenarios between Bertrand-competition and price-matching, then conducting the illustration and sensitivity analysis with changing of the major parameter to gain further managerial insights.

Abstract. This article examines the problem of the competition or cooperation of the container terminals in the North Adriatic hub and spoke system with respect to the leadership position of the ship owners, which defines the flow of containers. The problem is defined as a two-stage game where the shipping companies act as leaders and the container terminals are the followers. The stages of the game are defined as a multi-objective optimization problem on a graph. The proposed simulations and the results obtained could be a first step in defining a sustainable method of collaboration in the hub and spoke system between the ports and the ship owners. The purpose of the article is also to present a systematic examination of a hub and spoke port network based on a competition-cooperation model. The model could also be used by the shipping companies or container terminals to find an optimal strategy in the game and validate their business decisions.
