To investigate the structural characteristics and evolution mechanism of shipping network, the weighted Asia shipping network was constructed. The topological and weighted structure were analyzed based on relative index, and BBV model was used to simulate the evolution of shipping network. It is shown that in the topological network the average path length is smaller, and the clustering coefficient is larger, the node degree appear normal distribution. Therefore, the topological structure is a small-world network. For the weighted network, the clustering coefficient and average path length are smaller, the node strength and edge weight appear respectively power-law and long-tail distribution, therefore, classified as scale-free network. Furthermore, the simulation network based on BBV is similar to the shipping network, thus BBV model can simulate the evolution of shipping network.
