Abstract

Extreme Events seriously affect the normal flow of goods on routes and exacerbate the vulnerability of the global container shipping network. To assess the impact of extreme events on the vulnerability of the global container shipping network, the global container shipping network was constructed based on the route data of the top seven liner shipping companies in the world against the backdrop of the COVID-19. Based on the network disintegration theory and the layered weighted network efficiency metric, routes suffering from different levels and degrees of disconnection are simulated. The results show that the disconnection of each segment has a wide impact on the vulnerability of the global container shipping network, the disconnection between Singapore Port and Santos Port will have the greatest impact on the shipping network, which reduce the efficiency of the shipping network by 2%. The reduction of layered weighted network efficiency is consistent with the degree of segments disconnection. The global container shipping network has strong anti-interference resistance to international segments partial disconnection, and presents great vulnerability to international segments complete disconnection. While the number of international segments remains at 10%, the performance of the maritime network can still reach 48.4% of the original network. However, if the international segments are completely disconnected, the performance of the maritime network will drop to 8.2% of the original network. This paper further improves the understanding of the global container shipping network under extreme events, and provides a useful reference for studying the vulnerability of the global shipping network under interference in the future.
