Abstract

<p> In recent years Japan has experienced a decrease in the number of container ports at which trunk route vessels call, due to economic growth in the other Asian countries, increasing vessel sizes, and development of shipping alliance. This paper aims at analyzing detailed trends of container cargo transshipment in the transpacific route, in order to provide necessary information to parties concerned, such as government bodies or shippers in making their responsive actions.</p><p> As a result, several significant points have been found. First, decrease of the ratio of direct shipment at Japanese ports was led by the decrease of the number of container services between Japan and East Coast of North America. Second, the major route of container cargo transported from and to Japan via other Asian countries is Japanese major container ports – Busan port – North American ports. Finally, potentially Japan can target at cargoes from/to countries in South East Asia to/from North America as cargos transshipped at ports of Japan, in order to increase the total cargo volume of transpacific route.</p>
