本文旨在分析東亞地區貨櫃主航線與臺灣海峽之兩岸直航航線，並藉 此探究臺灣高雄港可開拓的轉運樞紐市場之所在。結論顯示：迄2011 年， 東亞地區主航線佈署上，越太平洋航線之平行化與遠歐航線的單線化問 題，更趨嚴重。兩岸直航航線亦會透過轉運櫃源，而間接影響貨櫃航商在 臺灣的主航線佈署行為，亦是未來高雄港維持轉運樞紐的重要目標市場之 一，更是直航航線不至於脫離東亞航線網路，變成地方航線的關鍵。未來， 值得高雄港重新定位與開發的轉運櫃源目標市場，係為東北亞與東南亞之 間，以及中國大陸與東南亞之間的轉運櫃源。

This study aimed at analyzing the trunk routes in East Asia, direct-links across Taiwan-strait, and exploring the potential markets of transshipment cargos for Kaohsiung port. The results showed that paralleled T/P (Transpacific-routes) and the soloed F/E (Far East/Europe routes) are becoming serious in East Asia at 2011. The direct-link routes would affect indirectly the trunk-route deployments around Taiwan by transshipment containers, and it is very important to Kaohsiung port. Whether the direct-link routes would be isolated from route-networks in East Asia; greatly depends on the transshipment boxes oriented from China. In the future, Northeast/Southeast Asia, and China/Southeast Asia, would be the two potential transshipment markets for Kaohsiung port to promote.
