Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) unseated Maersk as the most reliable carrier in November last year, as shipping reliability continues its upward trajectory.

That’s according to the latest Global Liner Performance report, published by maritime consultancy Sea-Intelligence.

Carriers improved their reliability 4.7 percentage points month on month (m-o-m) in November and reached 56.6%. The average delay for late vessel arrivals also improved consistently over the year.

Average delays for the period under review dropped by another -0.58 days m-o-m to 5.04 days. Both schedule reliability and average delay are now better than the 2020 level.
