    To accurately forecast port throughput is crucial to the success of any port operation policy. This paper attempts to create an optimal ensemble predictive model of port throughput by using regression models, grey model and artificial neural network. Years of historical data (Jan. 2001 to Dec. 2009) from major ports in China mainland are collected and the data of Dalian Port is used to establish and validate a forecasting model. The empirical results show the effectiveness of the proposed ensemble forecasting model for port throughput prediction.
