Description

Container cargo transaction volume has rapidly been increasing not only in a major ports but also in a local port in Japan. Most liner services which calls at a local port in Japan are the South Korea route, the China route, and the South East Asia route. They are also used for connecting service to the trunk routes such as North America route and Europe route. Transshipment using a local port and neighboring Asian ports has been increasing every year. However the shipper in rural area still uses major ports rather than a local port. This paper discusses factors of shipper's port choice in Tohoku, Chugoku and Shikoku region by using an logit model considering “average waiting time at port” and four type of “seaborne transportation time.” Average waiting time at port cannot be clarified only use a frequency of transportation services but the calling schedule at each port. It is also discussed the impact of several policy scenario of local port by applying the model. Results show that, a shippers care the average transit time in export and the longest transit time in import. It turned out that shippers consider transshipment time in case of export and it doesn't consider transshipment time in case of import. Shippers considers a sum of average waiting time at port and seaborne transportation time as a total transit time. By scenario analysis, it turned out that the demand of local port increases by constructing the vessel calling schedule in consideration of a day of the week.
