A Study on Comprehensive Evaluation of Port Logistics Capacity: The Case of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle

In the new development pattern where domestic circulation is the mainstay and domestic and international circulations reinforce each other, accelerating the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle and deeply integrating into the Yangtze River Economic Belt have become inevitable trends. Located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle serves as a vital hub connecting the east and west, with its ports becoming a key strategic resource for regional economic development. Despite recent progress in port development, many shortcomings remain in the face of new situations and requirements. This paper establishes an evaluation index system and employs the Entropy Weight-TOPSIS method to evaluate the comprehensive logistics capacity of major ports in the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle. The evaluation reveals imbalanced development and shortcomings in cargo collection and distribution levels among the ports. Corresponding countermeasures are proposed to provide references for the future development and construction of inland ports.
