Chen, C. and Song, F., 2019. Evaluation of port logistics competitiveness in china along the belt and road. In: Guido-Aldana, P.A. and Mulahasan, S. (eds.), Advances in Water Resources and Exploration. Journal of Coastal Research, Special Issue No. 93, pp. 1117–1124. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. The implementation of the Belt and Road Initiative has put forward higher requirements for the development of the port whose comprehensive logistics capability directly affects the smooth progress of the Belt and Road Initiative in turn. Hence, it is of vital importance to analyze the logistics competitiveness of the port under such a background. In this paper, 15 ports along the Belt and Road in China were taken as research objects, and their comprehensive logistics competitiveness was measured based on 2017 data by factor analysis method. On this basis, evaluation and analysis were carried out and suggestions and countermeasures for future development were put forward. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
