摘要
2015年12月,中国航运业两大巨头中国远洋运输(集团)总公司(简称中远集团)与中国海运(集团)总公司(简称中海集团)启动重组。以企业官方网站发布的集装箱航运周期表为主干数据,基于复杂网络方法,利用Gephi和ArcGIS软件分析平台,对重组背景下两企业航运网络空间格局变动特点进行定量刻画,并从航运网络的幅员经济和枢纽经济2个维度,评价2016年重组后的中国远洋海运集团有限公司(简称中远海运集团)集装箱航运网络的整合效应。研究发现:①2016年中远海运集团航运网络中的港口数与2015年中远集团、中海集团航运网络相比,服务节点明显增加,港口之间的航线服务覆盖范围扩张,新的航运联系拓展,整体航运网络运输服务线路延长;②航运网络整合过程中,传统市场如东南亚、地中海、北美东海岸航区以及新兴市场如非洲西岸、南美东海岸等航区的港口枢纽性强化明显;具有良好区位条件的港口,中转能力强化、枢纽性更加突出,而一些高度同质化的港口航线资源被整合优化;③港口的区位条件、企业市场扩展策略、企业原有航线设置的同质化程度等是航运网络整合中呈现不同特点的主要原因。
China Ocean Shipping Group and China Shipping Group, as the leading shipping enterprises in China's shipping industry have started reorganization in 2015. Using the historical shipping data published on the official websites of the two enterprises, this study quantitatively characterized the spatial pattern of the enterprises' shipping network by complex network method using Gephi and ArcGIS; an evaluated the impact of integrated China Ocean Shipping(Group) Company(COSCO) Shipping's shipping network in 2016, based on two dimensions of the network economic and hub economic. The results showed that: 1) The total number of service node and anchored ports of COSCO Shipping increased significantly as compared to 2015. In addition,the covered ports were expanded and new links were introduced. 2) In 2016, COSCO Shipping strengthen the hub capacity in different navigation areas, such as the traditional markets of Southeast Asia, the Mediterranean,East North-American, emerging markets of West Africa, East South-America hub strengthened significantly.Ports with good location conditions have stronger transit capacity, while the resources of some highly homogeneous hub ports have been integrated and optimized. 3) The change of shipping network integration port can be affected by many factors, including local conditions of ports, strategy of market expansion, strategy for port selection(terminal operation), and homogenization degree of original shipping network.
