In recent years, the competition among international shipping centers has become more and more fierce. The development of Hong Kong international shipping center is not optimistic. Based on this, we analyzed the factors affecting the competitiveness of international shipping centers and constructed the competitiveness evaluation index system of international shipping center. We used the Entropy Weight and TOPSIS method to conduct empirical research on the competitiveness of four shipping centers in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore, and Shenzhen to clarify the current location of the Hong Kong international shipping center and the differences with other shipping centers. According to empirical findings, we have proposed some strategies to enhance the competitiveness of Hong Kong international shipping center from the perspective of competition and cooperation.
