Abstract

Abstract:The container shipping industry has undergone a substantial structural alteration recently, the main cause of which stems from the enlargement of ship sizes. Previous research on the topic lacked the discussion of the impact of an upsizing policy on the inner operation and management of carriers. Through cognition agreement and decision importance, this study investigated 32 factors that may affect industrial experts whose companies own or order mega containerships. The results of this investigation reveal that cash-flow control, increasing profits, increasing feeders to collect cargo, and gaining competitive advantage are the most determinant factors that affect decision making. European carriers are more concerned than Asian carriers about the potential safety risks in navigation and the trend of persistently ordering megaships. Asian carriers recognize the decreased agility of megaship deployment but strongly dissent from European carriers.

超大型集装箱船对航运公司经营管理的影响
摘要:近年来,集装箱运输业发生了重大的结构变化,其主要原因是船舶规模的扩大。此前关于该主题的研究缺乏对扩大规模政策对承运人内部运营和管理的影响的讨论。通过认知一致性和决策重要性,本研究调查了32个可能影响拥有或订购大型集装箱船的工业专家的因素。调查结果表明,现金流控制、增加利润、增加进料器收货以及获得竞争优势是影响决策的最决定性因素。欧洲航空公司比亚洲航空公司更担心航行中的潜在安全风险和持续订购巨型船舶的趋势。亚洲航空公司承认巨型舰艇部署的灵活性下降,但强烈反对欧洲航空公司。
