Mega vessels have advantages to liners and for holding down the coast of ocean shipping but also raising concerns among vessel operation, insurance and they require for infrastructure adaptations and productivity level. Moreover further increase in ship size could result negative impacts and crises in recession.展开更多

An approach based on both panel data and multi-inputs/outputs is considered comprehensively, and aims at measuring the operating efficiencies of 10 leading container ports in China from 2001 to 2006 by applying this new systematic influence factor of total factor productivity change is the calculation method. The results illustrate that the main technology change, and the container transportation of these 10 ports is on the healthy development status and will recover and grow reposefully in the following years展开更多
