| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 交通運輸研究所 === 95 === Performance is one of the main factors affecting carriers’ selection of hub ports. Kaohsiung port is currently facing competition from other major container ports nearby, the way to attract carriers is by strenghthening the internal conditions. Hence, this research aims to evaluate and compare the performance of Kaohsiung with Hong Kong, Shanghai and Yantian, in order to find out the key problems to be improved.
This study uses Performance report (PR2)-Terminal Part as the original source of data, from which eight indicators of the four major ports were calculated. Principal Component Analysis is then applied to scale down the eight performance indicators into three aspects of performance; including loading/unloading efficiency, ship congestion and Terminal Performance, comparisions of the four major ports are made for each aspect of performance. In addition, the Grey Relation Analysis is also used to select three representative index,and the weight of each index is obtained using the Entropy Weight Method. Finally, overall performance of the four ports is ranked.
The result of this study indicates that in the aspect of loading/unloading efficiency, Yantian has the best performance; in ship congestion aspect, Shanhai prot is the worst, and in Terminal Performance aspects, Kaohsiung port does the best. The rankings of overall performance are Yantian、Hong Kong、Kaohsiung、Shanhai. Change in the weight of representative index is not quite sensitive to the above rankings.
