Abstract

A general picture of the global shipping network is presented. The maritime network connects countries (nodes) with regular liner services (edges) all around the world. The weight factor of connections is the liner shipping bilateral connectivity index (LSBCI). The LSBCI is a composite index developed by UNCTAD which reflects maritime connectivity between pairs of nations all around the globe. The first goal of the study is to determine the community structure of the network by means of modularity optimisation. The structure clearly shows the main sea routes within the global network. The second goal is to extract more information from the strongest community by means of centrality metrics. The countries which achieved the best performance in the past decade are revealed.

班轮运输网络中的双边互联互通:综述

介绍了全球航运网络的概况。海运网络将世界各地的国家(节点)与定期班轮服务(边缘)连接起来。连通性的权重因子是班轮航运双边连通性指数(LSBCI)。LSBCI是联合国贸发会议制定的综合指数，反映了全球各国之间的海上连通性。研究的第一个目标是通过模块化优化来确定网络的社区结构。该结构清楚地显示了全球网络中的主要海上航线。第二个目标是通过中心性度量从最强社区中提取更多信息。在过去十年中取得最佳表现的国家被揭示出来。

期刊介绍： There is an increasing demand for transportation solutions that are responsive, safe, sustainable, smart and cost-efficient. This has resulted in increased emphasis on responsive intermodal transportation systems. WRITR provides an international forum for the critical evaluation and dissemination of research and development in all areas related to intermodal transportation. Research disseminated via WRITR has significant impact on both theory and practice, and is of value to academics, practitioners and policy makers in this field. Topics covered include: -International trade and transportation -Infrastructure, network design and optimisation -Design, planning and control of transportation systems -Intermodal, intelligent and sustainable transportation solutions -Transportation modes (air, rail, road, sea, pipe) -Transportation cost/benefit analysis -Railroad, terminal and port development -Port/terminal operations and management -Warehousing and inventory management -Transportation regulations, standards and security -Environmental impact, liability and insurance -Risk analysis and management -Information technology and decision support systems -Strategic alliances and relationship management -Government involvement and incentives
