Abstract
With the development of regional economy and logistics, ports within an area involve fierce competition. This paper discusses the application of game theory on port competition to help managers analyze the selection of strategies and response. Above all, through the economic analysis of port logistics market structures and supply-demand characteristic, we could see that the port industry shows a regional oligopoly situation. Therefore, game theory would be a helpful method on the analysis of competition and cooperation strategy between ports. And then we will present two game models conducted on port competition and simply talk about the equilibrium solutions. In our further research, more referential and well-established game models will be applied to the strategy analysis of port competition.
