A global halt to further delays in shipping
Copenhagen-based maritime intelligence provider Sea-Intelligence has reported on global liner reliability, covering more than 60 carriers on 34 different trade lanes.
According to the analysis, schedule reliability moved sidewards in September 2021, by 0.6 percentage points to 34%, maintaining the range of 34%-40% seen throughout the full year. Therefore, there is a certain stability - on a very low level. In comparison to the same period last year, schedule reliability in September 2021 was down -22 points.
The average delay for late vessel arrivals also improved marginally, dropping to 7.27 days, albeit still the highest figure for this month, which has been an issue throughout 2021.
Maersk Line was the most reliable top-14 carrier in September 2021, with schedule reliability of 44.2%, followed by Hamburg Süd with 37.3%.
Another two carriers had schedule reliability between 30%-40%, with only four carriers recording schedule reliability of 20%-30%. Six carriers had schedule reliability of under 20%. (sh)
