Naval War College Review Vol 60 No 1, Winter 2007, pp.81-102Summary: If China were to apply a naval blockade against Taiwan would the world's maritime industry continue to use Taiwan's port facilities and carry its trade? If the answer is no does Taiwan have sufficient merchant marine capacity of its own to survive? This article offers an assessment of Taiwan's merchant shipping by class, ownership, flag state, and carrying capacity which is in turn affected by vessel speed and type of cargo. Also considers the impact of attacks that would disable or disrupt shoreside cargo handling facilities. The conclusions are not encouraging for Taiwan.
