According to Drewry Supply Chain Advisors, liner shipping service reliability on the three East-West trades showed an aggregate on-time performance of 64% in March - a five-month high.
This was 8.5% up on the February figure - and the second best aggregate since the new data series begun last May.
Drewry attributed the improvement to better services on the Asia-Europe trade and slowly improving congestion conditions after the labour go-slow on the US West Coast was settled.
Once again, top carrier for reliability was Maersk Line (average on-time performance of 81%), followed by K Line (73%), and Cosco and MSC (both 70%).
