Sea-Intelligence has published issue 162 of the Global Liner Performance (GLP) report, with schedule reliability figures up to and including January 2025.
Throughout 2024, schedule reliability stayed largely within 50-55%. The new year has started in a similar manner, with schedule reliability continuing to remain within that range.
Incidentally, the January 2025 score of 51.5% is the same as in January 2024. On a month over month (M/M) level though, schedule reliability dropped by -2.1 percentage points.
The average delay for LATE vessel arrivals decreased by -0.01 days M/M to 5.32 days, which is the lowest that the delay figure has been since July 2024, and is lower than across all pandemic impacted years. On a Y/Y level, the January 2025 figure was -0.85 days lower.
Maersk was the most reliable top-13 carrier in January 2025 with schedule reliability of 55.0%, followed by another 6 carriers with schedule reliability over 50%. The remaining 6 top-13 carriers were within 46-50%.
In January 2025, the difference between the most and least reliable carrier dropped to under 8.5 percentage points the smallest difference since March 2017.
