摘要
「貨櫃化」之發展為運輸業帶來了便利性，對海運以及相關產業產生莫大的影響，尤其是海運業發展出貨櫃轉運之經營模式。就貨櫃轉運而言，不但有不同運具間之轉運，如海運與鐵路間之轉運，亦發展出相同運具間之轉運，如貨櫃在貨櫃船舶間之轉運，不同運具間之轉運是依運送路徑選擇適合之運具來提升整體運輸效能，但貨櫃船舶間之轉運主要乃貨櫃航商為有效降低其營運成本，採用軸輻網路構建其營運網路與轉運港所產生的結果，而高雄港之所以具有樞紐地位，就是在各貨櫃航商努力之下產生貨櫃轉運之功能。 高雄港地理位置相當優越，又與亞太各貨櫃港距離最近，極適合發展轉運港，然因兩岸未全面通航而無法發揮「全方位」之轉運功能，但在港務相關單位、以及航商之努力下，其轉運貨櫃之比例曾有八年超過百分之五十，並在航線、以及服務腹地等方面有其特色。本研究藉由探討貨櫃航商在高雄港佈署之營運網路，瞭解各貨櫃航商之經營方式，進而探討高雄港轉運貨櫃發展現況，分析高雄港之轉運功能，以及隨著兩岸通航的改變，展望高雄港貨櫃轉運之發展趨勢，並據以研提後續研究事項。

The container port can be not only an origin/destination port but also a transshipment port, especially a hub port. As a transshipment port, containers are transferred either between different transportation modes, such as transferred from by containership to by rail, or between containerships mainly due to reducing total operating costs of container liners. This thesis makes an attempt to study the latter one and takes the Kaohsiung Harbor as the real-world case for case study. The geographical location of Kaohsiung Harbor is quite superior for container liners to develop their container transshipment centers to transfer containers among feeders and main lines. However, due to the political relationship with mainland China, the fully transshipment functions of Kaohsiung Harbor couldn’t be operated. This thesis firstly applies the operation network to know how container liners transfer containers, and then analyses some transshipment characteristics in Kaohsiung Harbor. Finally, some suggestions to promote the transshipment function of Kaohsiung Harbor as well as further researches are proposed.
