尽管面临供应链挑战，但由于消费支出强劲且航运旺季延长，预计 2024 年美国集装箱港口入境货运量将达到 2022 年以来的最高水平。 2024 US container port inbound cargo volumes predicted to reach highest since 2022 due to strong consumer spending and extended peak shipping season, despite supply chain challenges.
全美零售联合会（NRF）和哈克特联合公司（Hackett Associates）的报告预测，今年夏天美国主要集装箱港口的月度入境货运量将达到2022年以来的最高水平。 The National Retail Federation (NRF) and Hackett Associates report predicts that monthly inbound cargo volumes at major US container ports will reach their highest levels since 2022 this summer. 这一增长归因于强劲的消费支出、零售商为满足需求而囤货以及年度航运旺季的延长。 This increase is attributed to strong consumer spending, retailers stocking up to meet demand, and the extension of the annual peak shipping season. 预计2024年上半年总吞吐量将达到1210万TEU，比去年同期增长15%。 The first half of 2024 is expected to total 12.1 million TEU, up 15% from the same period last year. 然而，海外港口拥堵、运费上涨等供应链挑战正在影响运营和运费。 However, supply chain challenges including congestion at overseas ports and increased freight rates are affecting operations and shipping rates.
