Adjacent ports played a significant role in the evolution of the port system. In our study, we selected five pairs (i.e., Dalian-Yingkou, Qingdao-Yantai, Shanghai-Ningbo, Xiamen-Quanzhou, and Shenzhen-Guangzhou) of the most important adjacent ports in China to reveal the recent trend of China unique port system development; how and why will port system development be de-concentrated; and integrate the conceptual modal into in-depth analysis. The major findings are as follows: (1) There is functional differentiation in adjacent ports. To some big ports' sustainability, they focus on foreign trade while other small ports, in order to achieve sustainable development, they focus on domestic trade; (2) First-mover advantage and dislocation competition is a mechanism of China ports functional differentiation; (3) Shanghai and Ningbo are unique in that both ports are similarly focused on foreign trade because they both have deep-water harbors, excellent geographical location, export-oriented hinterland economy, and close foreign investment relationships.

“…For example, Xu (2005) Still, there are some academic papers focusing on port governance reform in China. Li et al (2012) compare port system development in China and the USA against the backdrop of changing port management regimes in the two countries. Xu and Shin (2012) present three stages in the port governance system in China which largely correspond with the stages presented in Cullinane and Wang (2007).…”

Chen, J.; Lu, L.; Lu, J., and Luo, Y., 2015. An early-warning system for shipping market crisis using climate index.The shipping market is always in volatility according to complex impact factors. This paper develops a new operational early warning system (EWS) model based on the economy cycle theory for predicting shipping market crises. To achieve this goal this paper analyses and extends the early warning system by constructing the "climate index". Taking industry capacity and profit level into account, several indicators are selected for the synthesis of climate index. These indicators are divided into three categories of the leading, coincident and lagging with time difference correlation analysis and cluster analysis approach. Advantageously accessible to extensive resources, multiple datasets are available for the selected indicators. In terms of the economic cycle theory, diffusion and composite indices of global shipping prosperity are presented by using the factor analysis, predicts composite indices and market situation with the climate index curve and signals. As an empirical example, a climate index for Shanghai container shipping market is developed in order to demonstrate its potential usefulness as an early warning system. It turns out this model can provide a powerful tool for the operators and investors to understand the market trend and avoid the price risk. Additionally, early warning software is developed to put this idea into practice. ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS:Shipping market, early warning, climate index.
