“…The higher the importance ranking of the nodes based on their own attributes, the higher the importance ranking of the nodes based on global attributes. For example, the ports of Singapore (1,1), Rotterdam (2,2), Algeciras (4,6), Klang (5,3), Piraeus (8,4), Busan (9,8) and Ningbo (10,10), all of which have high centrality indicators and large number of ports with which they have an effective path and a large value of information transfer, have resulted in high results for both importance calculations [9].…”

“…Figure 1 shows that the thickness of the route distinguishes the size of the number of sailings of a single transport route, and the radius of the port node distinguishes the size of the sum of the number of sailings passing through the port. The ports of Singapore, Shanghai, Ningbo, Hong Kong and Port Klang are the ports with the highest number of sailings, indicating that these ports have a high status in the maritime network; Shanghai-Ningbo and Port Klang-Singapore are the routes with the highest frequency of sailings, indicating that these two routes are the key routes in the network, and an accident at the port of origin and destination of the route will have a great impact on the network [4].…”

This paper evaluates the container ports importance along "21st Century Maritime Silk Road". A directed weighted container shipping network is constructed by collecting global container ship route data in 2021 and using complex network related methods. This paper proposes a comprehensive evaluation model with the Entropy-weight TOPSIS method based on the ports' own multi attributes involving the navigation, transfer and anti-interference ability. It also proposes an evaluation model based on the ports' global attribute considering the importance influence of other ports who has communication with the evaluated port in the network. 400 container ports' importance in the real container shipping network along the "21st Century Maritime Silk Road " are evaluated by using the above two evaluation methods and the results are analyzed to prove the correlation and rationality of the evaluation methods. The result shows that Singapore Port, Rotterdam Port, Kelang Port, Hong Kong Port, Ningbo Port and Shanghai Port are very important in the container shipping network; The important ports identified based on the ports' global attribute evaluation method have greater influence on the container shipping network, and the port failure will lead to more serious network damage; In order to ensure the stability of the container shipping network, the key ports which has high ranking in importance evaluation should be given priority to development and protection. In addition, strengthening the joint construction of the key ports themselves and the surrounding port groups is also significant.

Since the establishment of the “Belt and Road” initiative, the investment and construction of ports along the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road have received extensive attention from the international community. The evaluation of ports is of great significance to investors’ investments and construction of ports around the world, so it is very necessary to establish a reasonable port evaluation system. At present, there are few studies on defining and evaluating port resilience, and the existing port evaluation index system has defects. Therefore, according to the similarity between cities and ports, this paper introduces the concept of “three-dimensional space” and the “system of systems” theory of cities and divides the resilience of ports along the Maritime Silk Road into three-dimensional spaces of “physical-society-information.” The CRITIC-entropy method and the TOPSIS method constructed a port resilience evaluation model along the Maritime Silk Road and quantitatively evaluated and analyzed the comprehensive resilience and subspatial resilience of 28 ports along the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. The results show that the route network port degree, the annual throughput of the port container, and the number of fixed broadband subscribers per 100 people are the key indicators that affect the port’s physical space resilience, social space resilience, and information space resilience. Also, coordinated physical, social, and information spatial resilience development plays a catalytic role in improving overall resilience. Therefore, the investment of ports along the Maritime Silk Road should adopt corresponding and more targeted investment plans according to the actual resilience of each port. The research provides new ideas and directions for investors to invest in port construction and has certain practical guiding significance for the increase of investors’ income and the sound development of the national economy.

“…Besides, combining the different transportation methods allow the port to connect the producer and the consumer through import or export activities (Pettit and Beresford, 2009). Ports being on the global maritime shipping routes can gain certain benefits, such as connecting easily to ports in different areas, attracting more ship calls and improving cargo volumes, gaining more information, having more authority, and having a significant influence over other ports (Nguyen and Woo, 2021).…”

PurposeThis study aims to identify the characteristics of the maritime shipping network in Northeast Asia as well as compare the level of port connectivity among these container ports in the region. In addition, this study analyses the change in role and position of 20 ports in the region by clustering these ports based on connectivity index and container throughput and route index.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs Social Network Analysis (SNA) to delineate the international connectivity of major container ports in Northeast Asia. Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is used to identify each port's connectivity index and container throughput index, and the resulting indexes are employed as the basis to cluster 20 major ports by fuzzy C-mean (FCM).FindingsThe results revealed that Northeast Asia is a highly connected maritime shipping network with the domination of Shanghai, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Busan. Furthermore, both container throughput and connectivity in almost all container ports in the region have decreased significantly due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The rapid growth of Shenzhen and Ningbo has allowed them to join Cluster 1 with Shanghai while maintaining high connectivity, yet decreasing container throughput has pushed Busan down to Cluster 2.Originality/valueThe originality of this study is to combine indexes of SNA into connectivity index reflecting characteristics of the maritime shipping network in Northeast Asia and categorize 20 major ports by FCM.
