Global schedule reliability seems to have broken the trend seen since the start of this year, with schedule reliability increasing by 3.6% in June 2022 to 40.0%, says Sea-Intelligence.
This also marked the first time since the start of the pandemic that schedule reliability improved year on year Y/Y. The average delay for LATE vessel arrivals has been dropping sharply so far this year but remained unchanged M/M at 6.24 days in June.
The delay figure is now firmly below the 7-day mark, and an improvement over the respective 2021 figure.
With schedule reliability of 49.5%, Maersk was the most reliable carrier in June 2022, followed by Hamburg Süd with 41.4%. There were 10 carriers with schedule reliability of 30%-40% and only two with schedule reliability of 20%-30%.
In June 2022, once again, a lot of the carriers were very close to each other in terms of schedule reliability, with 10 carriers within 7 percentage points of each other.
Wan Hai had the lowest schedule reliability in June 2022 of 24.8%. On a Y/Y level, nine of the top-14 carriers recorded an improvement in schedule reliability in June 2022, with Evergreen recording the only double-digit improvement of 16.2 percentage points.
