ABSTRACT: This study utilizes CiteSpace visualization technology and bibliometric methods to analyze scientific knowledge graphs based on literature from CNKI regarding China’s multimodal transport of maritime logistics from 2003 to 2023. It delves into time distribution, key researchers, popular topics, development trends, research hotspots, and other aspects, offering a comprehensive analysis and trend forecast. Findings indicate frequent researcher activity and the formation of several research teams, albeit limited in size and lacking effective communication and cooperation mechanisms, hindering further expansion and innovation. Structure optimization and system construction of container sea-rail combined transport; the multimodal transport of maritime logistics model and the theoretical practice; strategic development under the background of “the belt and road initiative”; construction and improvement of multimodal transport of maritime logistics systems; and the development of networks and the information technology of multimodal transport of maritime logistics are five major research hotspots in this field. The research in this field has gone through three stages: start-up, development, and expansion with innovation. “The Belt and Road” Initiative and the China-Europe train are still the focus of research at this stage. Especially in today’s severe and complicated international situation, how to continue to practice “the Belt and Road” and steadily promote the development of multimodal transport of maritime logistics will become the hot frontier of future research.
