Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted global maritime transport, while Chinese coastal ports demonstrated remarkable resilience, continuing to play a pivotal role in the shipping industry. This study categorizes resilience into five key properties (redundancy, flexibility, stability, recoverability, and scalability) using tier-1 and tier-2 indicators to evaluate the resilience performance of 16 ports from 2013 to 2022. To standardize the data, we apply the min-max normalization, followed by entropy weighting to evaluate the performance of various resilience indicators, then construct a DBN model to reflect the state transitions of resilience indicators. The findings reveal strong financial health is crucial for maintaining port resilience. Enhancing financial management and improving profitability provide a robust economic foundation for the sustainable development of ports. Additionally, cargo throughput and import-export trade are highly sensitive to port resilience.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Sea Research is an international and multidisciplinary periodical on marine research, with an emphasis on the functioning of marine ecosystems in coastal and shelf seas, including intertidal, estuarine and brackish environments. As several subdisciplines add to this aim, manuscripts are welcome from the fields of marine biology, marine chemistry, marine sedimentology and physical oceanography, provided they add to the understanding of ecosystem processes.
