Abstract

Under the liberalization of port competitive service charges of China, the paper focuses on the pricing strategy of port charge in order to transform the rates from government guidance or uniform charge into market regulation, comparing the port charge as well as its throughput under the scenarios between Bertrand-competition and price-matching, then conducting the illustration and sensitivity analysis with changing of the major parameter to gain further managerial insights.
