Abstract

Objective: This study aims to investigate the degree of concentration and the competitive positions of the Baltic cruise port network.

Methods: A set of 29 Baltic ports are analysed, market concentration is evaluated using the analytical technique of the Herfindahl-Hirschman index, and competitive positions are determined through portfolio analysis based on the Boston Consulting Group matrix from 2000 to 2019.

Results: The Herfindahl-Hirschman index indicates that the Baltic cruise port system is unconcentrated with an average score of 0.11 for the analysed period, suggesting that eight of the twenty-nine ports are the dominant ports in the Baltic. Portfolio analysis results suggest that the hierarchy picture of competitive positions is dynamic and has changed over time. The Baltic cruise port system has a wide range of competitive positions. Kiel and Rostock becoming mature leaders is one of the most relevant changes in competitive positions.

Implications of the research: This study contributes to the literature not only by investigating the competitive positions of the second most important European operational area for cruise ships but also by filling the gap in research on the concentration and competitive strategic positions of Baltic cruise ports. This research allows seaport operators to visualise the position and progress of selected ports and predict the possible future seaport developments.

评估波罗的海邮轮港口系统的集中动态和竞争地位。

目的：本研究旨在调查波罗的海邮轮港口网络的集中程度和竞争地位：本研究旨在调查波罗的海邮轮港口网络的集中程度和竞争地位：方法：分析波罗的海 29 个港口，使用赫芬达尔-赫希曼指数分析技术评估市场集中度，并通过基于波士顿咨询集团矩阵的 2000 至 2019 年组合分析确定竞争地位：赫芬达尔-赫希曼指数显示，波罗的海邮轮港口系统并不集中，分析期间的平均得分为 0.11，表明 29 个港口中有 8 个是波罗的海的主导港口。组合分析结果表明，竞争地位的层次结构是动态的，并随着时间的推移而变化。波罗的海邮轮港口系统具有广泛的竞争地位。基尔和罗斯托克成为成熟的领导者是竞争地位最相关的变化之一：本研究不仅对欧洲第二大邮轮运营区的竞争地位进行了调查，还填补了波罗的海邮轮港口集中度和竞争战略地位研究的空白，为文献研究做出了贡献。这项研究使海港运营商能够直观地了解选定港口的地位和进展，并预测未来可能的海港发展。

期刊介绍： European Transport Research Review (ETRR) is a peer-reviewed open access journal publishing original high-quality scholarly research and developments in areas related to transportation science, technologies, policy and practice. Established in 2008 by the European Conference of Transport Research Institutes (ECTRI), the Journal provides researchers and practitioners around the world with an authoritative forum for the dissemination and critical discussion of new ideas and methodologies that originate in, or are of special interest to, the European transport research community. The journal is unique in its field, as it covers all modes of transport and addresses both the engineering and the social science perspective, offering a truly multidisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, engineers and policymakers. ETRR is aimed at a readership including researchers, practitioners in the design and operation of transportation systems, and policymakers at the international, national, regional and local levels.
