根据来自美国零售联合会（以下简称NFR）和哈科特咨询机构的最新全球港口追踪月报，预计十月将成为今年美国各主要集装箱港口进口集装箱业务最繁忙的月份之一，仅次于八月。
“节假日马上就要来临，零售商们需要确认他们手上有足够的商品来满足顾客们的需求，从仓库到商店货架各个方面保证货物充足。”NFR供应链和关税政策副总Jonathan Gold如是说。“十一月和十二月将会是假日购物的旺季，这正是供应链管理在幕后发挥作用的时候，以保证顾客在合适的时间地点找到他们所想要的商品。”
全球港口追踪月报估计九月集装箱吞吐量降至164万个标准箱，但较去年同期仍有0.9%的涨幅。十月集装箱运量预测将达到165万个标准箱，同比上涨6%；十一月为154万个标准箱，涨幅为3.9%；十二月为148万个标准箱，涨幅为3.4%。

NRF: U.S. container imports remain strong as retailers prepare for holidays
October is expected to be the second busiest month this year for import container volumes at major container ports in the United States, trailing behind August, according to the latest monthly Global Port Tracker report from the National Retail Federation (NRF) and Hackett Associates.
“The holidays are nearly here, and from warehouses to store shelves, retailers are making sure they have the merchandise on hand to meet consumers’ demands,” said Jonathan Gold, vice president for supply chain and customs policy at NRF. “November and December are the busiest time for holiday shopping, but this is the month for the behind-the-scenes supply chain work that ensures shoppers will find what they want, where they want it, when they want it.”
The Global Port Tracker estimated that volumes dipped to 1.64 million TEUs in September, but were still up 0.9 percent from last year. October is forecast at 1.65 million TEUs, up 6 percent from last year; November at 1.54 million TEUs, up 3.9 percent; and December at 1.48 million TEUs, up 3.4 percent.
