Analysts Sea Intelligence said that container line schedule reliability continue to “creep” upwards month-on-month in March to 35.9%.
However, reliability is still lower than a year earlier. “Despite being the highest 2022 reliability figure so far, the March 2022 score is still slightly below the 2021 level,” commented Alan Murphy, CEO of Sea-Intelligence.
The analyst surveys schedule reliability of over 60 lines across 34 different trades.
The only line to record a schedule reliability above 50% was Maersk with a 50.3% rating. Next highest was Maersk subsidiary Hamburg Sud with a schedule reliability of 45.9%. Wan Hai Lines had the lowest schedule reliability in March of 22.6%.
“On a year-on-year level, only three of the top-14 carriers recorded an improvement in schedule reliability in March 2022, with the largest improvement of just 1.6 percentage points,” Murphy said.
