Schedule reliability still very poor, Maersk remains on top

Schedule reliability improved marginally in September 2021 by 0.6% to 34%, maintaining the range of 34% – 40% seen throughout the year, according to Sea-Intelligence data.

The schedule reliability is not plummeting further and this is the only positive sign of this report, said the Danish analysts.

On a year-on-year level, schedule reliability in September was down by 22% points.

“The average delay for late vessel arrivals also improved marginally, dropping to 7.27 days, albeit still the highest figure for this month, which has been a theme throughout 2021,” noted the report.

Maersk Line was once again the most reliable top-14 carrier in September, with schedule reliability of 44.2%, followed by its subsidiary Hamburg Süd with 37.3%, according to the analysis.

Another two carriers had schedule reliability between 30% – 40%, with only four carriers recording schedule reliability between 20% and 30%. Six carriers had schedule reliability of under 20%, with Evergreen recording the lowest one for September 2021, reaching just 11.7%.

Six carriers recorded a month-on-month improvement in schedule reliability, while no carrier recorded a year-on-year improvement, with all carriers except Maersk, recording double-digit year-on-year declines of over 20%.
