全球海运集装箱贸易在过去二十年中有所增加。在许多发展中国家，发展了辅助港口，以补充主要港口。然而，即使在发展了次要港口之后，主要港口仍在使用，尽管前者严重拥挤。建设新的港口基础设施需要几个重要的决定，如港口容量和龙门起重机和泊位的数量，这大大影响了托运人的港口选择。本研究的目的是开发一个港口选择模型，在多港口区域作为一个线性城市，并观察港口相关因素的改善，即集装箱分配和集水区的两个港口。我们提出了一个空间模型，其中腹地表示为一个线性城市来描述托运人和航运公司的行为。作为一个案例研究，该模型被应用到马尼拉大都市区（即，马尼拉港和八打雁港），这些港口的二级利用率不如预期。三个显着的见解：（一）每小时的集装箱装卸量的龙门起重机在港口是最有影响力的因素，关于集装箱分配，（二）港口相关的因素影响航运公司更有效的比托运人的集装箱量增加在港口，和（iii）地理劣势是限制集装箱量的增加八打雁港口。
Global maritime container trade has increased during the past two decades. In many developing countries, secondary ports have been developed to complement primary ports. However, primary ports are still being used even after the development of a secondary port, notwithstanding heavy congestion at the former. Construction of new port infrastructure demands several important decisions such as port capacity and number of gantry cranes and berths, which significantly affect shippers’ port choice. This study aims to develop a port choice model in a multiple-port region as a linear city and observe the improvement in port-related factors, that is, container allocation and catchment areas of the two ports. We present a spatial model in which the hinterland is expressed as a linear city to describe the behaviors of shippers and shipping lines. As a case study, the model is applied to the Manila metropolitan area (i.e., the Manila and Batangas ports) where secondary port utilization is not as expected. Three significant insights are obtained: (i) hourly container handling volume of gantry cranes at the port is the most influential factor regarding container allocation, (ii) port-related factors affecting shipping lines are more effective than those of shippers for increasing the container volume at the port, and (iii) geographical disadvantages are limiting the increase in container volume at the Batangas port.
