Abstract

As a crucial code of the world logistics system, seaport becomes increasingly important in the development of social economy and the adjustment of industrial structure. A clear understanding of the development stages of the seaport is the key to improving the seaport’s capability. By introducing an evaluation index which reflects the seaport’s development and selecting some typical representative seaports in China as the object analyzed, this paper proposes the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm on the basis of the cluster analysis principle. The comparison with the existed Hard C-Means (HCM) algorithm proves the validity and superiority of FCM. It also makes a quantitative analysis on the classification of the seaport’s development, studying the characteristics of different development stages.
