This paper analyzes container transportation network equilibrium considering draft of vessels. Concept of load factor
(�) of ship is included in the model. Three players are considered, i.e. port administrator, ship companies (carriers),
and shippers. Interaction of these players leads to Nash equilibrium problem. The result of the model calculation indicates
that Hong Kong and Singapore port dominates container throughput in the world and the big vessel (3000 - 6000
TEU) is dominant in these ports. Conversely, the smaller port with depth less than 15 m dominated by 1000 TEU vessels.
The result is inline with the reality. The other finding from the study is 6000 TEU vessels can enter port with depth
less than 15 m such as port of Shanghai. Again, it is inline with reality. Validation of the model shows that coefficient of
determination (R2) is 0.95. It indicates the model provides good accuracy.
