Abstract

China’s participation in the global cruise ship building sector is substantial, yet the industry finds itself grappling with challenges such as a modest market share, weak supply chain agglomeration effects, and a scattered domestic industry layout. Addressing these issues to foster the cruise economy’s growth especially by restructuring the industry’s supply chain represents a pressing concern. This study evaluates the resilience of the supply chain within China’s cruise ship building industry, focusing on 10 port cities renowned for their developed cruise sectors.Through a comprehensive index evaluation approach alongside the entropy weight method, this study quantifies the resilience levels and identifies disparities across these cities. The findings indicate an ongoing enhancement in the industry’s resilience, albeit variably influenced by the unique urban settings in which different organizational sectors are situated. These variances notably impact essential resilience aspects such as absorption capacity, leadership capacity, adaptability and recoverability.The study posits that amplifying the influence of industry leaders, refining the business climate, and bolstering regional policy support are crucial strategies for strengthening the cruise shipbuilding industry’s resilience.
