Abstract

Northeast Asia is one of the world fastest regions with a rapid increase in oil consumption. Within the region, China, Korea, and Japan have shown a great dependency of their oil consumption on foreign imports. While Korea exports its surplus of petroleum products to China and Southeast Asian countries, China and Japan import petroleum products from abroad. Due to this situation, there exist strong opportunities and needs for an oil hub in Northeast Asia to take advantage of the benefits of these favorable developments and securely stable oil supply for the countries in this region. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to evaluate the competitiveness of the oil logistics hubs to promote an oil logistics in Northeast Asia. This empirical study is undertaken by the analytic hierarchy process(AHP).
