Abstract

Interconnection of a shipping network is of great significance to the development of the shipping industry and the world trade. China is the advocator of the Maritime Silk Road, and is its origin. To analyze characteristics of the Maritime Silk Road shipping network, connectivity is studied between China and the Maritime Silk Road based on maritime complex networks, relating to the degree distribution, degree centrality, closeness centrality and other indicators. Damage caused by node failure and edge failure due to disconnection of the network is studied through computer simulation.
