The Studying Of The Freight Price Of China's International Container Liner Transport Market

Accompanying the steady development of our country's international trade, our country's ports have had the maximal number of container handling capacity in the world. China's International Container Liner Transport Market has been the biggest Container Liner Transport Market in the world. Container freight rate has direct effect to our country's international trade. The change of freight rate will have direct impact to exports competitiveness. In recent year, the freight rate has displayed the trend of rising; it has bad impact to our country's export. Because at present a large part of exports in our country are cheap goods, Container freight occupies very a big part in the total cost of exports. The rising of freight rate will increase the cost of exports; it will weaken price advantage of our country's exports and affect the exports competition on the international market. So, studying China's International Container Liner Transport Market, discussing the inherent mechanism of freight price operation and analyzing the characteristics of freight price have very important theory and practice significance.The subject of the thesis is"The Studying of The Freight Price of China's International Container Liner Transport Market". The range of studying is the long distance's shipping line in China's International Container Liner Transport Market.The thesis starts with studying the structure of the long distance's shipping line market, analyses supply and demand circumstances in the market, and then by means of quantitative analysis to find how the imbalance of transport amounts has an effect on freight price. The thesis includes three sections.First, it introduces the origin of container transportation characteristics of international container transportation, and then introduces some special characteristics of China's International Container Liner Transport Market.Second, it analyses the concentration ratio of China's International Container Liner Transport Market. It applies absolute concentration ratio, relative concentration ratio, HHI index and other quantitative index and qualitative systems to delimit market structure. And then, it applies synthetically the pertinent supply and demand theory and game theory model about oligopolistic competition to make the Rigidity Demand Curve & Game Theory analyses. It explains the mechanism of transporting price rising of China's International Container Liner Transport Market.Third, it uses the date to show the big imbalance between the different direction on the Asian-US and Asian-EU lines. And then, it Applies the software Eviews to do relativity analyze. Compared with the statistical correlation between freight rate and transport amounts, it makes a decision that the imbalance of the transport amounts has a crucial effect on the imbalance of the freight rate in the same liner transport market.
