Research on mode selection for developing port logistics in China based on analytical hierarchy process—Taking Tianjin port logistics as an example

According to unique advantages, coastal cities in China should select an appropriate development mode for their port logistics industries to stimulate the development of their economics. In this article, Tianjin port logistics will be taken as an example to demonstrate how to select a proper development mode of port logistics for coastal cities. Moreover, in this article, according to advantages of Tianjin, analytical hierarchy process will be applied to the selection of the development mode of port logistics of Tianjin, and after the analysis through analytical hierarchy process, a conclusion will be drawn that which development mode of port logistics Tianjin should adopt. If Tianjin selects a proper development mode of port logistics industry, Tianjin will become a modern logistics center, and the port and city competition ability will be promoted completely.
