8월 수출 983억 달러…15개월 연속 증가

Sustained export growth tightens belly space and main-line capacity out of Incheon before it shows up in published rates. Where outbound cargo takes priority, inbound express for cross-border retail and outbound e-commerce parcels lose out in the space queue, and peak-season surcharges and transit-time swings arrive together. Now is the time to forecast Q4 volumes and lock in space by lane rather than relying on a single carrier or routing. Keeping Sea & Air alternatives open and building buffer days into customs clearance and last-mile schedules protects delivery promises when space closes up.
