Recently, the major ports in Japan such as Tokyo, Yokohama, Kobe and Osaka are so intense congested that the logistics operators are faced with difficulty to distribute their commodity and goods. On the other hand, local ports are not so congested. In this paper, the authors estimate logistics costs in surrounding area of Tsuruga port when container cargoes shift from major ports to local port by applying optimization problem. The authors indicate that the logistics operators are enable to reduce their transportation costs by utilization of Tsuruga port, but actually they utilize the major ports. Therefore, the authors analyze correlation between container cargo handling volume of local ports and size of regional economic on their hinterland and examine the practical reason not to utilization of local ports. |
