ABSTRACT: In recent years, the competition among international
shipping centers has become more and more fierce. The development of Hong Kong
international shipping center is not optimistic. Based on this, we analyzed the
factors affecting the competitiveness of international shipping centers and constructed
the competitiveness evaluation index system of international shipping center. We used the Entropy Weight and TOPSIS method to
conduct empirical research on the competitiveness of four shipping
centers in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, and Shenzhen to clarify the current
location of the Hong Kong international shipping center and the differences
with other shipping centers. According to empirical findings, we have proposed some
strategies to enhance the competitiveness of Hong Kong international shipping
center from the perspective of competition and cooperation.
