The determinants of competitiveness between hub ports in the multipolar Northeast Asian system will decide which achieve regional gateway status. A survey instrument to assess 21 pertinent measurement items generated 203 responses from Shanghai, Hong Kong and Busan. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a valid and reliable competitiveness construct underpinning 19 measurement scales and a four-factor model incorporating availability, operational efficiency, port costs and service quality. Differences in factor importance revealed that success as a regional gateway port depends on whether port areas develop strategically into multi-functional business centres. The model offers a management tool to guide future port improvement. | |
