Abstract: Port as an irreplaceable important node in the process of logistics is a special form of the integrated logistics system, which completes the basic logistics service and value-added services in the global supply chain logistics system. At present, the port logistics service has become an important breakthrough in the competition of ports, the improvement of port logistics competitiveness has great influence on the development of port and port city and even the area economic development. Analyzing from the port logistics competitiveness, this paper establishes a comprehensive evaluation index system and proposes a single-value neutrosophic cosine measure method to evaluate the port logistics competitiveness of five sample ports, and gets the score sorting of the logistics competitiveness of these five ports. This method as a helpful tool is clear and easy for port logistics competitiveness evaluation during actual application.
Keywords: Single-valued neutrosophic set (SVNS), port logistics competitiveness, cosine measure, single-value neutrosophic cosine measure method
