Abstract:As a carrier of “21st Century Maritime Silk Road”, the structure and capability of shipping network will have a close relationship to the efficiency of national international trade along the road. In order to figure out the structure of the complex system and explore the factors which affect its performance, we build a network model based on a large number of container liner records, and verifies its scale-free characteristics. At the same time, based on BA scale-free network theory, a simulation experiment is designed to explore the impact on network performance. The experimental results show that reasonable node processing capacity allocation scheme and routing parameters can improve the performance of the shipping network. The conclusion of the research can provide the theoretical basis for the optimal allocation of ports and routes along the “Maritime Silk Road in the 21st Century”.
