Abstract :
Foreign trade container shipping have two modes, one is Full container Loading(FCL) shipping, another is Less container Loading(LCL) shipping. I have Used logit choice model, using MATLAB to calculate survey datum, the result is foreign trade container shipping mode is mainly relationship with the cargo volumes, when it is smaller than 15m3, it will choice LCL shipping . Although fees affect the choice, but compared to the volume, it is relatively small. Final I analyzed the limitations of this model.
