Evaluation of Maritime Transport Support Mode for Islands and Reefs Based on DEA

Abstract

On the basis of the analysis and summary of several maritime transport support modes for the material replenishment of islands and reef, a DEA model is established in this study to calculate the relative validity of the above-mentioned modes by solving the linear programming question. Consequently, the support modes can be sorted by the validity value. Finally, impact factors can be located and improvements can be made through eliminating the variables, leading to potential room for maritime transport support optimization.
