【Abstract】Maritime logistics is essential to international trade, and maritime logistics alliances significantly enhance the efficiency, service quality, and competitiveness of maritime logistics through the complementary advantages and risk sharing among member enterprises. Blockchain can better solve the problems of information asymmetry and lack of trust in logistics alliances because of its decentralization and other characteristics. However, enhancing the rationality of benefit distribution of maritime logistics alliances based on blockchain is still a key issue to be addressed. In this paper, we first construct an evolutionary game model base on blockchain to analyze alliance stability among members. Through numerical simulation, we identify that the reasonable benefit distribution is the most significant influencing factor for alliance stability. Then, using the modified Shapley value method, we establish the benefit distribution model of alliance based on blockchain. Finally, based on blockchain, we design, deploy, and call a smart contract for the benefit distribution of maritime logistics alliances, which is intelligent and can be used for alliance benefit distribution.
