Abstract

The port is no longer a docking point for ships, but a multi-functional platform for sorting, warehousing, transportation and distribution due to the wide application of e-commerce logistics platforms. The continuous functioning and the efficiency have to be paid large attention to, which can promote faster exotic product delivery and lasting international commercial relationships. In order to measure the logistics efficiency of the port and identify defections, this paper selects provinces and cities where 11 important ports are located in China by the utilization of DEA-Malmquist index. The results show that the bottleneck of the growth rate of my country’s port throughput appears. Taking the Qinling and Huaihe River as the boundary, the port transportation efficiency in the north is generally not as efficient as that in the south and even has a tendency to retreat. The improvement of port logistics efficiency should focus on increasing scale efficiency, improving resource allocation and management capabilities, finding new revenue growth points and reducing costs to break through bottlenecks.
