Sea-Intelligence published issue 181 of the Global Liner Performance (GLP) report, with schedule reliability figures up to and including August 2026.
In the backdrop of severe port congestion in Asia, global schedule declined sharply M/M for the second consecutive month, with the latest M/M decline of -5.9 percentage points dropping the August figure to 49.9%; the lowest point since September 2022.
With declining schedule reliability, the average delay for LATE vessel arrivals also deteriorated, increasing M/M by 0.60 days to 6.81 days. This is the highest level reached since March 2022. On a Y/Y level, the August 2026 figure was 1.92 days higher.
Maersk was the most reliable top-13 carrier in August 2026 with schedule reliability of 67.3%, followed by Hapag-Lloyd with schedule reliability of 61.5%.
