Abstract

This paper aims to build a new multi-centrality model based on Borda count method for identification of important ports in maritime networks. Main contributions of this paper can be concluded as follows. First, it is found that the Asia-Europe routes of the Maersk shipping line is not homogeneous, indicating that a few hubs occupy major shipping lines. Secondly, the multi-centrality model based on Borda count method is conducted to identify vulnerable ports of maritime networks. The proposed analysis framework could contribute to generating valuable managerial implications for the stakeholders such as shipping lines, ports, and port states to ensure the robustness of the investigated maritime supply chains.
