Six months since the launch of its daily service on the Asia-North Europe trade lane, Maersk Line reports an average reliability of 97%.
The service offers daily cut-off times for cargo loading (rather than weekly cut-offs) and measures reliability based on container availability for gate-out at the destination port and not the transit time for service.
In the corridor from Yantian in China to Felixstowe in England it transported more than 17 000 containers in the first six months.
