Container line schedule reliability recorded a month-on-month decline in November of 0.4 percentage points to 33.6%, maintaining the range of 33%-40% seen throughout the year according to a new report by Sea-Intelligence.

 

A month prior, in October, schedule reliability already dipped by 0.4 percentage points to 34.4%.

 

The maritime analyst said in its latest Global Liner Performance (GLP)that the only continuing “positive”, is that schedule reliability has not plummeted further.

Sea-Intelligence noted that on a year-on-year level, schedule reliability in November 2021 was down 16.4 percentage points.

 

The average delay for late vessel arrivals on the other hand, dropped down to 6.93 days, albeit still the highest figure for this month, which has been a recurring theme in 2021.

 

Maersk remains most reliable liner in November

 

The maritime analyst said in its report that Maersk was once again the most reliable top-14 carrier in November 2021, with schedule reliability of 46.3%, followed by Hamburg Süd with 40.4%. 
 
It said only MSC had schedule reliability between 30%-40%, with five carriers recording schedule reliability of 20%-30%.

Meanwhile, the remaining six carriers had schedule reliability of under 20%, with Evergreen recording the lowest November 2021 schedule reliability of just 11.8%.
 
Four carriers also recorded a month-on-month improvement in schedule reliability, while no carrier recorded a year/year improvement in schedule reliability, with all but Maersk recording double-digit year/year declines.
