国際フィーダー航路の集貨力に関する基礎研究－西日本からの輸出コンテナ流動を中心として－

抄録

Container terminals have been developed in many local ports of Japan in the last two decades. They are supposed to be used for container traffics from/to Eastern Asia such as Korea, China, etc. Therefore, the hub function of major ports in Japan has been lost in competitive circumstances with ports in neighboring countries.
In this paper, we analyze the export traffics from Japan with consideration of domestic feeder service connecting major ports and local ports, applying an aggregate logit model. Our results show that the shipping speed of feeder service and the value of cargoes, these affect the shift of cargo flow to Japanese main ports from other countries' main ports.
