集装箱枢纽港的成长模式探讨

港口(码头)达到满负荷营运通常需要5年以上的时间。一般说来,港口越大,其成长速度就越快。那些率先取得竞争优势的港口能够成功地成为地区性枢纽港,而那些不能率先取得足够货运量的港口往往会成为中小型的支线港口。只有某些具备适当前提条件的港口才能成为地区性集装箱枢纽港。此外,港口要成为地区枢纽港,还需具备地理位置、硬件和软件方面的条件。

A Quest for the Container Hub Ports' Growth Pattern

It usually takes more than 5 years for a port (terminal) to reach its full-scale operation. In general, the larger the size of a port is, the faster it grows. The ports, which acquired competitive advantage in advance, can succeed in becoming regional hubs, whereas, those which failed to secure enough cargo in advance tend to become small-medium sized feeder ones. Only certain ports endowed with appropriate preconditions can become logistics hub in the region. Among others, geographic location, hardware and software aspects must be appropriately secured for a port to become regional hub.
