Abstract:U.S. retailers depend on the U.S. transportation system and supply-chain infrastructure to stock up and replenish depleted inventories. In particular, they utilize containerships to move intermodal shipping containers filled with goods worth billions of dollars, often from foreign manufacturers, through the global supply-chain from foreign seaports to domestic seaports onto their final destination. This interdependence may continue to grow as U.S. retailers streamline by adopting just-in-time (JIT) or similar inventory management approaches.1 Such processes allow retailers to maintain the optimal balance between inventory and sales.
