Sea-Intelligence has published issue 158 of the Global Liner Performance report, with schedule reliability figures up to and including September 2024.
In September 2024, global schedule reliability declined by -1.2 percentage points M/M to 51.4%. While schedule reliability in 2024 has stabilised within the 50%-55% range, it's been on a slight downwards trend since the May peak.
The low levels of volatility in schedule reliability in 2024 do give shippers a relatively good idea of what to expect M/M. The average delay for LATE vessel arrivals increased by 0.21 days M/M to 5.67 days. This is the third-highest figure for the month, only surpassed by pandemic highs of 2021-2022.
Maersk was the most reliable top-13 carrier in September 2024 with schedule reliability of 55.5%. CMA CGM followed with schedule reliability of 50.9%, as the only two carriers above the 50% mark. The remaining 11 carriers were all in the 40%-50% range.
