Container line schedule reliability dropped again in January to its "lowest ever,"  according to a new report by Sea-Intelligence after December 2021 record low. 

In a statement, it said schedule reliability was down by 0.9 percentage points month-on-month to 30.9%. On a year-on-year basis, schedule reliability was down 3.8 percentage points.

"[This is] the lowest ever global schedule reliability since Sea-Intelligence started the measure in 2011," the maritime analyst said.

It noted that despite the low schedule reliability since January 2021, there hasn’t been much fluctuation, with the global scores largely between 30%-40%.

Meanwhile, Sea-Intel said the average delay for late vessel arrivals decreased slightly to 7.38 days, the sixth consecutive month with the delay figure above 7 days.
