Study On Evaluation System Of Modern Port Logistics

With China's accession to the WTO and the globalization of world economy, Logistics industry has been an important reflection of a country's economic power and development level. As is proved by the journey of the economic development in developed countries and regions, modern logistics industry can enormously promote the development of a country's economy and is also conducive to the sustainable development of its economy and society. So modern logistics is considered as the third profit source in addition to reduce material consumption and raise productivity. It provides the fundamental power for the sustainable development of national economy and attracts more and more attention of the whole world. Modern logistics industry will become an important sector in our country's economic development and one of the new growing points.The port is an indispensable factor of modern comprehensive logistics system. As global transportation service enters the era of comprehensive logistics, ports'function and status in economic development has undergone profound changes. As hubs of sea-land multimodal transportation, ports are the collecting centers of essential factors of production, centers of various logistic activities and facilities, and also essential intersections for economic globalization and logistics integration, and the effective connection between logistics systems at home and abroad. Therefore, port logistics draws attention of various countries and regions and is undergoing unprecedented development. Compared with the vigorous port logistics practice, relative theory development and academic research lag behind, impeding the sound development of practice to a certain degree.To meet the urgent need of academic research in port logistics development, this thesis made a profound and systematic analysis and research on port logistics system and its evaluation method. The author theoretically probed into the interaction of ports and modern logistics, discussed functional factors and major features of logistics system and port logistics, and constructed an evaluating indicator system of port logistics with suitable method. Meanwhile, the author made an empirical analysis of port logistics system and verified the effectiveness of the evaluating system in terms of the available material about port logistics establishment and operation at home and abroad. On the basis of advanced domestic and foreign experience, the thesis put forward the proposal on how to accelerate our country's port logistics development.
