GLOBAL liner schedule reliability improved by 4.1 percentage points month over month, reaching 54.8 per cent - the highest level of reliability in 2024 so far.
However, despite this improvement, schedule reliability has generally remained within the 50 per cent-55 per cent range throughout the year, reports Greece's Container News.
The average delay for late vessel arrivals also improved, decreasing by 0.43 days month on month to 5.41 days. Despite this progress, the delay figure remains the second highest for November on record, surpassed only by the pandemic peak in 2021.
The data was contained in Sea-Intelligence's issue 160 of its global Liner Performance (GLP) report, which provides detailed insights into schedule reliability across 34 trade lanes and over 60 carriers.
Among the top 13 carriers, Maersk achieved the highest schedule reliability at 61.9 per cent. Eight carriers recorded reliability within the 50 per cent-60 per cent range, while the remaining five carriers fell between 47 per cent-50 per cent.
Wan Hai ranked as the least reliable carrier, with schedule reliability of 47.3 per cent. Notably, the reliability gap between the best and worst-performing carriers narrowed to less than 15 percentage points.
All top 13 global carriers showed month-on-month improvements in schedule reliability in November 2024. PIL recorded the largest month-on-month increase, with a rise of 14.6 percentage points.
'On a year-on-year level, only Yang Ming recorded an improvement, while 6 carriers recorded double-digit declines,' stated Alan Murphy, CEO of Sea-Intelligence.
