海運貨櫃運輸之多國併櫃乃將不同國家之零擔貨櫃集運於多國併櫃軸心港，再依相同之迄港或貨主予以併櫃後，分送至各目的地。本文以海運承攬運送業之角度探討如何選擇適宜之多國併櫃軸心港，據以降低其營運成本。
為利於分析，本研究利用網路最佳化之技巧協助構建多國併櫃軸心港選擇模式，該模式將運輸型及物流型等併櫃型態予以納入，即可考量不同迄港及貨主之貨物起迄對（貨物流）。本質上，該模式屬於多元商品網路設計問題，本研究逕運用軟體CPLEX求解，並利用實務資料進行案例分析。案例分析結果顯示，本研究所構建之多國併櫃軸心港選擇模式可協助選擇適宜之併櫃軸心港、並決定各港開櫃與拋貨之數量，應符合實務上之運作需求，可供後續研究與海運承攬運送業者參考。

The operation procedure of Multicountry Consolidation (MCC) is to collect less than container-load (LCL) cargoes from different countries, consolidate them into containers in the hub port and transport the containers to their destinations, respectively. This research makes an attempt to develop a hub location model for forwarders to select the hub port for MCC. This model takes various cost iterms derived from the MCC procedure into account, including costs relating to cargoes and containers. Furthermore, this model takes origin-destination pair aspect of cargoes into consideration and becomes a multi-commondity network design problem.
The hub port location model is evaluated by some test cases. The computation results seem promising. It is hoped that this model can help forwarders to select proper hub port for MCC as well as to determine how many consolidated containers needed to accommodate LCL cargoes.
