　　会产生哪些影响

　　Consequences

　　斋月期间，穆斯林国家的政府和企业都将调整工作时间，包括海关、港口、货代、仓储等机关和企业，这些进出口业务可能陷入低迷乃至停滞状态。

　　During Ramadan, Muslim countries’ government and enterprises will adjust their working hours, including the customs, the port, forwarder and warehouse. These services will be unavailable for a while.

　　对船公司来说 For carriers:

　　出口穆斯林国家的货物在斋月来临之前会有一个小旺季，船公司也可以适当调涨海运费增派运力增加营收。而斋月期间，货量会下滑3~5成。明智的船公司会在斋月前调配大船扩大运力赚取更多运费。

　　There will be a small peak period before Ramadan and carriers can increase charges to increase their profits suitably. During Ramadan, cargo volume will decrease for 30% to 50%. So they will deploy some large ships to expand transport power to earn more freight charges.

　　对出口商而言 For exporters:

　　对货主来说，提前做好准备永远是做好生意的关键。计算好航程因素，尽量使货物在斋月开始之前抵达目的港，会比较方便收货人及时清关提货。否则在斋月期间，作业周期会延长一些。如果在斋月期间抵达，可以向船公司请求提供14~21天的FREE TIME。

　　For owners of cargo, the key of making business is to make preparations in advance. Think well and make sure that the goods can be delivered to the destination before Ramadan because it will be more convenient for consignees to go through customs clearance and receive the goods. Or during Ramadan, the operation period will be delayed for a little. If the goods arrive during Ramadan, you can ask carrier to provide you with 14-21 days free time.

　　当然，货主也可以选择在斋月结束前后抵达目的港，这样就能很快赶上开斋节的消费期。

　　Of course, consignors can choose to ship the goods when Ramadan is about to finish then they will catch the busy season of Lesser Bairam.

　　此外，斋月期间，人们的社交活动会大量增加。各行各业的人也都在主动利用斋月的社交功能，展开一系列的积极行动。外贸企业也可抓住这样的机会，和客人多多进行交流。

　　In addition, during Ramadan, people will be more willing to have social activities. All walks of life are trying to make use of Ramadan to take actions. Foreign trade enterprises can also seize the chance to communicating with customers more.

　　因为所有的穆斯林都会非常的重视这个斋月，所以提醒广大的外贸和货代企业们，提前安排出货计划，避免货到目的港没人提货所产生的费用。

　　For all the muslims value Ramadan a lot so foreign traders should make advanced preparations to keep yourself from demurrage charges.
