After a tumultuous few weeks in the wake of the Red Sea crisis, some form of stability has ensued, with the round-Africa routings now normalising – as reflected in the February global schedule reliability score.

According to maritime consultancy Sea-Maritime, the figures improved by 1.7 percentage points month-on-month to 53.3%. On a year-on-year level, however, schedule reliability was -6.9 percentage points lower.

The average delay for late vessel arrivals also improved to 5.46 days, roughly the same level as pre-crisis, which means that the increase due to the crisis has reversed, according to the consultancy. 

The Global Liner Performance report, which examines reliability figures up to and including February 2024, covers 34 different trade lanes and 60+ carriers.

In terms of carrier scores, Hapag-Lloyd was the most reliable top-13 carrier with a score of 54.9%, followed by ONE and CMA CGM.

Maersk, a long-standing front-runner, is now fourth from the bottom at just below 50%.

In June last year, for example, it led the pack with a reliability record of 70.3%.
