If you’re still battling to get your cargo in time, this is why.
Schedule reliability declined by -1.3 percentage points month-on-month in April and was down year-on-year by -4.7 percentage points, according to the latest Global Liner Performance (GLP) report compiled by Sea-Intelligence.
“This means that the 2022 score has been slightly below the 2021 level in each of the first four months,” says the maritime consultancy’s CEO Alan Murphy.
The average delay for late vessel arrivals decreased once again, this time by -1.04 days to 6.41 days in April. “This is the first time that the delay figure has dropped below the seven-day mark since August 2021 – but that said, it continues to be the highest across each month when compared historically,” Murphy adds.
Maersk was once again the most reliable carrier with a score of 47.5%, followed by Hamburg Süd (42.5%). There were six carriers in the 30%-40% range and six in the 20%-30% range.
Eleven carriers were within 12 percentage points of each other.
On a year-on-year basis, only four of the top-14 recorded an improvement, with the largest just 2.3 percentage points.
The report covers schedule reliability across 34 different trade lanes and 60+ carriers – this article covers the global highlights.
