Abstract

Under the rapid expansion of container shipping in Eastern Asia with the increased size of vessels seeking economy of scale, hub-spoke operations with efficient transshipment, and global alliances of shipping companies, an Asia-range simulation model to estimate the effects of policy improvement of port facilities and operations upon maritime container flow patterns is proposed. In this chapter, the transferability of the original model, which was based on data from 1993, is ascertained by data from 1998. The model's reproducibility is similar to the original model, although the newer model leads to more extensive hub-spoke transportation than in actual use.
