摘要：This study focuses on container shipping in Myanmar, which is expected to grow manifold in the near future, given the country’s rapid economic growth rates. This study simulates the impact of Myanmar’s logistics policies on container shipping. These initiatives include the improvement of the East–West Corridor of the Greater Mekong Subregion and the development of the Southern Corridor and Dawei port. The global logistics intermodal network simulation model including both maritime shipping and land transport, is applied to the land-based southeast Asia (ASEAN) region. The estimated results obtained for several different scenarios are crosschecked and compared with the available information on observed flows. Based on the simulation results, the authors conclude that policies that reduce cross-border barriers and improve service levels in Dawei port would result in Thailand using Myanmar’s ports for their cargo as well.
