First, thepaper analyzes thenecessity ofa numberofcompeting ports, thenmovestoadetailed description ofcontainer transport supernetwork.The paperanalyzes thecalculation oftransport arccostand establishes acontainer transport supernetwork defined equilibrium model, inwhichitextends fromthedynamic Stackelberg gamemodeltoMPEC model.and EPEC model.A portpricedecision modelisgivedand Multiport Modelofnoncooperation competition is described. Finally, thepapergivesEPEC model (Equilibrium Problem withEquilibrium Constraints)on thebasis ofNashgame.Itensures theexistence anduse ofdiagonalization algorithm bybuilding acontinuous concave function(maximum). BytheEPECmodel,we haveobtained somenewconclusion:when theportis making theprice strategy,it musttake thelower shipper's choice into consideration.
