Maritime industry is a highly complex system, and sensitive to today's rapidly changing environment. The paper aims to develop a strategic model to accommodate the changes in the liner shipping markets and evaluate the trend of shipping, and thus can help relevant stakeholders to capture the risk or opportunities and then reduce the uncertainty for decision making. The model is calibrated using realistic data and then employed to evaluate the possible variation under various scenarios in future marine market and the impact on global ports, so that the relevant authorities can formulate proper polices to maintain the competitiveness of their own ports in Asia-Pacific region. |
