Abstract

As the connection point of sea and land transportation and the node of international transportation of resources, ports play a pivotal role in the economic systems of countries today, and have become an important part of economic development. In China, most foreign trades are carried out by sea. Recently, many coastal areas have taken the development of the marine economy as the focus of economic structural transformation, and the importance of ports has become increasingly prominent. To accurately find out the factors that influence the competitions of port logistics, make the correct strategic positioning of the respective ports, achieve strengths and avoid weaknesses in the development of ports, and compete effectively, it is particularly important to improve the competitiveness of port logistics. This paper selects 18 ports in China’s coastal areas, such as Shanghai port, Zhoushan port, Tianjin port, Shenzhen port, Guangzhou port, Tianjin port, Qingdao port and Dalian port, and constructs a port competitiveness index system including port logistics scale, infrastructure conditions, hinterland economic conditions and port development potential. According to the principal component analysis of the comprehensive analysis of the port and the cluster analysis of the port classification, we put forward reasonable suggestions to improve the competitiveness of port logistics.
