Research on the importance of maritime energy shipping corridors of China based on ship operation data

Energy is important for country economy and industry development. Maritime shipping is one of the major transportation methods for energy. About 80% energy transportation pass through the maritime corridors, of which the importance of security and stability is extremely vital. This article analyses the development of maritime energy transportation corridor system by shipping operational data from Automatic Identification System (AIS). The risks and challenges faced by China's maritime energy transportation corridors are discussed through the "Human-Material-Environment" system engineering theory and PESTEL model. In the end, this article puts forward suggestions to alleviate China energy transportation corridor dependency.
