Abstract
This paper reveals the existence of demand information distortion in port supply chains. First, based on the features of port products and the research work of a supply chain bullwhip by professor H.L.Lee, this paper studies the demand information distortion in a port supply chain involving tramp shipping and liner shipping separately. Then, by analyzing data of the Dalian port throughput of 2015 with a combined forecast model, we found the supply capacity of the Dalian port in the future will be much larger than the demand of loading/unloading. Finally some counter measures are given for ports to eliminate the information distortion of a port supply chain.
