Abstract

The role of container ports contributes greatly to international trade and national or regional economic development by supporting maritime transportation and occupies a central position in the supply chain connecting sea and land. The performance(traffic volume) of a port generally depends on geographic, economic, and operational factors etc. For the past several decades, container port volumes have grown with fluctuation. This study amis to analyze how global ports have undergone changes in terms of cargo volume by region, size and period. For the analysis, only the volumes of global top 100 ports were used. Shift-share analysis and BCG matrix analysis were employed as methodologies. According to the result of the analysis, the relative volatility of port traffic over the past 16 years as a whole was found to be limited. On the other hand, ports in China and Southeast and Southwest Asia, which are economically growing for the last decades, showed growing trends, while ports in Northeast Asia and Europe appeared to be in a stagnant or declining phase. It also shows that most of the global ports maintain limited changes in cargo volume because they are already positioned as central ports in the region. In addition, it can be seen that the global port volume has a close relationship with the change in the economic capability of the relevant region or country.

컨테이너 항만의 역할은 해상운송을 지원하는 동시에 해륙을 연결하는 공급사슬의 중심적 위치를 점함으로써 교역과 국가 또는 지역 경제활성화에 크게 기여하고 있다. 항만의 물동량은 지리적, 경제적, 운영적 요인 등에 의해 성과(물동량)이 좌우된다. 지난 수십년간 컨테이너 항만별 물동량은 변동성을 유지하면서 성장하여왔다. 본 연구는 글로벌 항만이 지역별, 규모별, 시기별로 물동량에서 어떤 변화를 겪어 왔는지를 분석하는 데 목적이 있다. 분석을 위해 글로벌 100위의 항만을 대상으로 하였으며 방법론으로는 변이할당분석과 BCG 매트릭스 분석을 활용하였다. 분석결과 전체적으로 지난 16년간 항만 물동량의 상대적 변동성은 제한적인 것으로 나타났다. 이에 반해 경제적으로 성장기에 있는 중국과 동남 및 서남아시아의 항만들은 성장세를 나타낸 반면 동북아, 유럽 등의 항만들은 정체 또는 쇠퇴기에 접어든 것으로 나타났다. 이들 통해 볼 때 대부분의 글로벌 항만들은 이미 해당 지역에서의 중심항으로 자리매김하고 있기 때문에 낮은 물동량의 변동성을 유지하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 글로벌 항만 물동량은 해당 지역 또는 국가의 경제적 역량의 변화와 밀접한 관계를 가지는 것을 알 수 있다.
