Abstract :
This paper summarizes the meaning and characteristics of shipping logistics. Based on the similarity between shipping logistics and ecological species, the paper analyzes the population characteristics of shipping logistics. Referring to the logistic growth model of ecology, this paper builds a one-single-agent logistic growth model for shipping enterprises. For multi-agents shipping enterprises, this paper examines the competitive and cooperative relations between the different agents.
