The world's leading maritime capital is the global maritime economic centre. In this paper, we review the theoretical debates and the evolution of the field of maritime centre cities research, compare the research on maritime centre cities in the Eastern and Western, and put forward the focus of the world's maritime centre cities research and its urgent dilemmas under the new international situation. We found that: ①The world's leading maritime capital is closely related to the concepts of global city, centre city and maritime city, and then clarifies the theoretical issues such as the origin and concept of the world's leading maritime capital, their nature, characteristics and growth mechanisms; ② Introducing evaluation methods related to world's leading maritime capital, proposing its unique functions, comparison and growth evaluation methods, and so on. ③ In the new state of globalization, research on the world's leading maritime capital should focus on research scales and empirical innovations. Evaluating the world's leading maritime capital by drawing on the urban studies doctrines of urban function, urban competitiveness, flow space and their indicators' quantitative identification methods. Future research should focus on debugging the evaluation model and its indicator threshold parameters with empirical evidence, improving the applicability and practicability of the existing model, expanding the existing network analysis paradigm of trade, transportation, multinational company branches, patents, talents and other flows, and innovating the methodology of the research on the world's maritime capital.
