Most container vessels arrived late in April, and carriers are still struggling with delays. Just two carriers managed a schedule reliability above 40%, according to fresh numbers.
In April, only two container lines were able to land a schedule reliability of more than 40% in an industry still struggling with considerable delays.
According to figures from analyst firm Sea-Intelligence, only Maersk and Maersk-owned Hamburg Süd were able to climb above that line, landing at 47.5% and 42.5%, respectively.
In other words, more than half of ships – also in the case of the two top performers – did not call at port on time.
On the list, Maersk and Hamburg Süd are followed by six carriers – spearheaded by HMM and CMA CGM – with a reliability of 30-40% followed by another six carriers performing in the range of 20-30%.
Wan Hai performed worst, according to Sea-Intelligence, with a reliability of just 21.7%.
The industry’s overall schedule reliability in April landed at 34.4%, calculates Sea-Intelligence.
”This means that the 2022 score has been slightly below the 2021 level in each of the first four months,” writes the analyst firm.
