Research on the vulnerability of container terminals under the new development pattern of double circulation

In response to the recent sluggish international trade demand and a year-on-year decrease in China's total import and export volume, a vulnerability assessment framework for container terminals under the new development pattern of "Double Circulation" has been proposed. By tracing the appearance of container terminal vulnerability and based on the three major characteristic elements of vulnerability principle, analyze and determine the influencing factors of container terminal vulnerability. Construct a vulnerability evaluation index system for container terminals from four aspects: personnel, machinery, environment, and management. Taking the Yangshan Phase IV intelligent container terminal as the research object, a comprehensive vulnerability assessment of the container terminal was conducted through DEMATEL-ISM and ANP-Fuzzy. The results indicate that the overall vulnerability level of the Yangshan Phase IV intelligent container terminal is relatively low, with a vulnerability level of 39%. Finally, based on the experimental results, suggestions for anti vulnerability measures of the Yangshan Phase IV intelligent container terminal are provided from three aspects: emergency risk management, collaborative management, and personnel management.
