We measured the transit time deviations, percentage of on-time vessels, and top performing port-pairs for nearly 700 vessels. your supply chain. Among the vessel and port incidents that caused delays around the world in January, we analyzed the effect that the nationwide strikes had on vessels in Brazil.

We found that delays increased slightly arrivals were delayed over 24 hours. A summary of the results in the weeks leading up to the holiday. This year we analyzed the are shown in Figure 1. influence the holiday had on vessel delays to see if there was a similar effect. Total Unique Vessel Arrivals 4,935 Delayed Vessels (Delay > 12 Hours) 2,418 (49%) 30% of Vessels Delayed Over One Day Delayed Vessels (Delay > 24 Hours) 1,458 (30%) Similar to last year, we reviewed the performance of four Figure 1: Abstract result of unique vessel arrivals covering four China popular ports in China — Ningbo, Shanghai, Shekou, and ports and 21 carriers from December 15, 2013 to January 24, 2014 Yantian — before the Chinese New Year. From December 15, 2013 to January 24, 2014, we monitored 4,935 vessel arrivals at Figure 2 shows the details for Ningbo, Shanghai, Shekou, and these four ports. By analyzing the data and comparing the Yantian ports. The results show that the busiest port, Shanghai, actual time of arrivals with the estimated time of arrivals of the had the most severe delays with an average arrival delay of up coastal schedules provided by the carriers, we found that to 35 hours. Reasons for the delays included port congestion, before the Chinese New Year, nearly 50% of the vessel arrivals terminal productivity, and berth availability.

Also, the total number of vessel arrivals at these Similar to 2013, we found a slight increase in vessel arrival ports increased as the holiday approached. delays in the weeks leading up to the Chinese New Year in 2014. When we compared the percentage of vessel arrival delays over a day late, we found that most of the ports had a Weekly Performance of Ningbo, Shanghai, Shekou, and Yantian Ports higher rate in 2014 than 2013 except for Shekou.

All rights reserved. 2 Innovating PORT PERFORMANCE IN NORTH AND SOUTH CHINA According to port statistics of container throughput, container ports in northern China are experiencing a higher rate of growth than those in southern China. If this trend continues, there may be more pressure to maintain port performance with a heavier workload at the northern China ports. In this issue, we analyzed the performance of ports located in northern and southern China. CargoSmart’s Global Vessel Voyage Monitoring Center (GVVMC) reviewed the performance of the ports of Tianjin and Dalian in North China and the ports of Xiamen and Da Chan Bay in South China. The GVVMC analyzed average vessel arrival delays and berth times to measure performance from December 1, 2013 through January 28, 2014. North China: Port of Tianjin The Port of Tianjin is the largest port in northern China and is the main maritime gateway to Beijing. It is divided into two parts, Tianjin Port and Tianjin Xingang (also known as Tianjin New Port). The port is the world's tenth largest port in container throughput. The GVVMC detected 436 vessel arrivals and compared the actual arrival times with the estimated arrival times of carriers’ schedules. The Port of Tianjin had an average arrival delay of 11.5 hours as Port of Tianjin shown in Figure 1, which was the highest among all ports. The average berth time was 19.2 hours as shown in Figure 2. During the study, the GVVMC observed that since the Port of Tianjin is the largest port among the four ports, its handling of larger vessels may be the reason for the longer berth times. Port of Tianjin Vessel Count Average Arrival Delay (Hours) December 2013 240 12.4 January 2014 196 10.6 Grand Total 436 11.5 Figure 1: Average arrival delay of vessels at the Port of Tianjin from December 2013 to January 2014 Tianjin Dalian Xiamen Da Chan Bay Average Berth Time (Hours) 19.2 13.8 11.8 8.3 Figure 2: Average berth time of vessels at four China ports from December 2013 to January 2014 North China: Port of Dalian Similar to the Port of Tianjin, the Port of Dalian is located in northern China and is the most northern ice-free port in China. It is a major trade gateway to the Pacific and an important container transshipment hub. It has established trading and shipping links with more than 120 ports in over 40 countries and regions of the world. Port of Dalian From the data shown in Figure 3, the Port of Dalian had an average arrival delay of 10.6 hours, which was ranked second among the four ports. The average berth time in the sample period was 13.8 hours, which was almost six hours shorter than the Port of Tianjin. CargoSmart Innovating © 2014 CargoSmart Limited.

It has nine container terminals and offers 74 berths. As a major port in southern China, the Port of Xiamen performed slightly better than the Port of Tianjin in northern China. As shown in Figure 4, the average vessel arrival delay was 11.1 hours and the average berth time was 11.8 hours.

  • Competitiveness Analysis of China's Main Coastal Ports
    2019 International Conference on Economic Development and Management Science (EDMS 2019) Competitiveness analysis of China's main coastal ports Yu Zhua, * School of Economics and Management, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing 210000, China; [email protected] *Corresponding author Keywords: China coastal ports above a certain size, competitive power analysis, factor analysis, cluster analysis Abstract: As a big trading power, China's main mode of transportation of international trade goods is sea transportation. Ports play an important role in China's economic development. Therefore, improving the competitiveness of coastal ports is an urgent problem facing the society at present. This paper selects 12 relevant indexes to establish a relatively comprehensive evaluation index system, and uses factor analysis and cluster analysis to evaluate and rank the competitiveness of China's 30 major coastal ports. 1. Introduction Port is the gathering point and hub of water and land transportation, the distribution center of import and export of industrial and agricultural products and foreign trade products, and the important node of logistics. With the continuous innovation of transportation mode and the rapid development of science and technology, ports play an increasingly important role in driving the economy, with increasingly rich functions and more important status and role. Meanwhile, the competition among ports is also increasingly fierce. In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy and the promotion of "the Belt and Road Initiative", China's coastal ports have also been greatly developed. China has more than 18,000 kilometers of coastline, with superior natural conditions. With the introduction of the policy of reformation and opening, the human conditions are also excellent.
