Study On The Operation Strategy Of Dry Bulk Cargo Owners’Fleets With Game Theory

Recently, the cargo owners’fleets have become a new powerful part of the costal shipment capacity. The cargo owners construct the fleet due to some reasons:to forbid the risk of the transportation, to save the freight, to control the cargo market. Thanks to their own strengths, such as the stable supply of goods, the sufficient funds, they really achieve considerable income in this field. However, because of the fall of the shipping market, the cargo owners’fleets confront a difficult in their daily operation. Our research just focuses on this problem based on the current situation. And we try to find the effective way to help the cargo owners’fleets out of the dilemma. In this essay our main works are:to improve the theoretical system of cargo owners’fleets, to summarize the formation reasons of cargo owners’fleets, to introduce the current situation of cargo owners’fleets, to analysis the coastal dry bulk market. We conclude that the coastal gross tonnage is overcapacity. So we should take effective interventions to reduce the expansion of the cargo owners’fleets.In this essay, we suggest the cargo owners’fleets cooperate with the traditional ship owners. We also use the game theory to prove the cooperation could bring the benefit to both the two side. Meanwhile we discuss the distribution way of the income in order to increase the practical applicability. Besides we provide some useful methods for the next period development of the cargo owners’fleets:make effort to strengthen the shipping operation skills, establish the fleet and supply chain for specific goods, reduce the purchase of the fleet, choose the reliable collaborator, guard against operational risk.
