摘要本文讨论了联合承运人设计海运运输网络的方法，特别是研究了枢纽辐（HS）和多港口呼叫（MPC）模型之间的性能差异。本文从理论上解释了班轮运输网络结构和承运人联盟变化的机制。显著的结果表明：(1)HS比MPC对联盟承运人更有利；（ii） HS模式下的联合航空公司，即使他们部署较小的船只，也可以获得比MPC模式下更大的利润。这些发现表明，从MPC转向HS不仅可以通过部署大型船舶，还可以通过联盟或并购等业务组合来实现。
ABSTRACT This paper presents adiscussion of ways of designing atransport network by allied carriers for maritime shipping, specifically examining performance differences between hub–spoke (HS) and multiple-port-call (MPC) models. We explain, theoretically, the mechanisms of changing the liner shipping network configuration and the carrier alliances. The salient results indicate the following: (i) HS is more profitable for allied carriers than MPC is; (ii) allied carriers under HS, even if they deploy smaller ships, can have some margin to gain greater profits than under MPC. These findings imply that switching to HS from MPC can be accomplished not only by deploying mega-ships but also through business combinations such as alliances or mergers and acquisitions.
