Research On Dalian Shipping Index System

Our government had advanced that Dalian should be built to the important international shipping center of Northeast Asia.The whole province as well as the whole city is addressing itself to the task.Six years has past,we could find that port terminal and transportation network have been heightened very fast.Nevertheless,to build a nowaday international shipping center,we have to strengthen not only the hardware facilities,such as docks,storage and transport conditions,etc.but also the software facilities,such as distribution service, technical service,information service,law service,insurance service,finance service and so on. With the quickening steps of developing Dalian to the aimed shipping center,calculating Dalian shipping indices system and promoting the function of Dalian shipping exchange have been the consensus of all people in Dalian shipping circles.Based upon the comprehensive surveyspecial of Dalian shipping market and the condition of the ports of Dalian and Northeast Asia,according to the foundational theory for index calculation,this paper completely researches the calculation methods for DSI system. The system mainly contains colligation shipping freight index,colligation fleet capacity index, shipping cost index,climate sub-index,shipping industry entrepreneur expectation index.Firstly,this paper summarizes the main problems that should be solved related with index calculation;according to the plentiful material and data obtained from investigation,the paper summarizes the actuality of Dalian shipping market,including the development process of service in Dalian port,ship routes,shipping companies and so on.Based on this work,according to the foundational methods,principles for index calculation and the characteristics of freight indices,the paper detailedly and systematically designs the calculation methods for Dalian shipping index system,including selecting the sample routes and the sample shipping companies,choosing the shipping price style,selecting the calculation formula and the base period,deciding the issue frequency and so on.At the same time,we weave practical system and validate the outcome between BDI and CCFI.The result of this paper has significant instructional meanings for the practical calculation of Dalian shipping index system in the near future.The main analysis methods are Gray relational analysis,AHP,Entropy method,SEM,and Path analysis.
