  • A Study on Port Cooperation in the Tianjin and Hebei Areas Using Factor Analysis
    Journal of Comparative International Management ©2008 Management Futures 2008, Vol. 11, No.2, 23-31 Printed in Canada A Study on Port Cooperation in the Tianjin and Hebei Areas Using Factor Analysis by Ying Sun and Weida He University of Science and Technology, Beijing, China When China switched its economic development focus from the Changjiang- Zhujiang Delta to the Bohai Sea, Tianjin and Hebei became two of the fastest developing areas in the country. As the hub of logistics, the port system plays an important role in increasing the region’s economic development. This paper reviews port logistics in Hebei and Tianjin, and explains the necessity of port cooperation in these areas. An index system for port logistics competition is proposed using factor analysis. The results can be used to guide the positioning and development of each port based on its individual strength, thereby improving the port logistics of the entire area. 1. Introduction and Literature Review Ports have significantly facilitated foreign trade in the Hebei and Tianjin areas by providing important resources for the development of energy and chemical industries. The development of port logistics also greatly stimulated the economic growth of these areas. Presently, there are five ports along the 640 km coastline of Hebei and Tianjin. They are Tianjin Port (the largest man-made deepwater port in China), Qinhuandao Port (the country’s largest energy exportation port), Huanghua Port (a coal exportation port for Shenhua Group), Jingtang Port (a regional industry port), and Caofeidian Port (the key investment project of the National Eleventh Five-Year Plan). However, due to the lack of cooperation among ports, insufficient investment and superfluous construction has led to a tremendous waste of resources.
