This paper analyzes container transportation network equilibrium considering draft of vessels. Concept of load factorud(�) of ship is included in the model. Three players are considered, i.e. port administrator, ship companies (carriers),udand shippers. Interaction of these players leads to Nash equilibrium problem. The result of the model calculation indicatesudthat Hong Kong and Singapore port dominates container throughput in the world and the big vessel (3000 - 6000udTEU) is dominant in these ports. Conversely, the smaller port with depth less than 15 m dominated by 1000 TEU vessels.udThe result is inline with the reality. The other finding from the study is 6000 TEU vessels can enter port with depthudless than 15 m such as port of Shanghai. Again, it is inline with reality. Validation of the model shows that coefficient ofuddetermination (R2) is 0.95. It indicates the model provides good accuracy.udKeywords:udContainer transportation, Nash Equilibrium, Network
