A Study on the Relationship between Port Competitiveness and Logistics Cluster Performance

With the growth of the global economy, port competitiveness is becoming more important. This means that maritime transport still accounts for a large portion of the national economy. Therefore, this study analyzes the factors of port competitiveness and analyzes the relationship between port cluster performance and port cluster performance. This study is an empirical study on the relationship between port competitiveness and logistics performance. For this purpose, the analysis is focused on port infrastructure, informatization level and logistics operation capability. Especially, this study focused on the data in the center of Jiangsu province in China and found meaningful implications. This has led to the suggestion that ports can increase competitiveness and expand their performance. As a result of the study, the importance of infrastructure and operational capability of port was confirmed and a port development strategy based on it was suggested. Therefore, the port should increase capital investment, strengthen infrastructure construction, improve equipment and equipment for port operation, and improve logistics operation efficiency. Ports should be constructed with ports integrated with transportation, warehousing and distribution to facilitate the development of the logistics industry and improve the performance of the port logistics industry.
