Port Tracker

Port Tracker was developed jointly by NRF's Strategic Supply Chain Council and Global Insight's International Trade and Transportation Practice. Port Tracker blends the economic and trade expertise of Global Insight with NRF's deep well of knowledge about the distinctive needs and challenges facing retailers. Port Tracker evaluates and monitors the key data that will help retailers understand what is happening at the ports, including:

• Container volume from select Asian Ports
• Vessel traffic
• Truck congestion
• Gate operations
• Rail traffic speed
• Labor availability

The report also includes charts, monthly benchmarks and a "port congestometer" to indicate the activities at the ports.
