AbstractThe paper researches about the forecasting methodologies used to predict container volumes in “Cat Lai Terminal– Sai Gon New Port”. The main purpose of this study is to focus on the quantitative analysis of forecasting techniques and to select an appropriate method to help do forecast of containers of Cat Lai Terminal in 2018. To achieve the target, in this research, some forecasting models will be built in Excel to do demand forecasting of Cat Lai Terminal. The model is expected to help that company to figure out a suitable demand for each month. In addition, the small programming will be built by MATLAB software to run automatically ARIMA model to figure out the best appropriate for the given demand. The forecasts are based on the figures of container throughput in TEU unit (TEU definition: abbreviation for twenty-foot equivalent unit) of the Cat Lai Terminal in Ho Chi Minh City, belonging to Saigon Newport Corporation during last 4 years: 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 by each month. This paper suggests decision makers and businesses to choose the appropriate forecasting model for port operation in order to avoid unsatisfying the customer demand
