Global container carrier reliability improved from 58% in January to 60% in February; the first increase following four months of decline. According to research published today by Seaintel, Maersk Line maintains the number one spot as the most reliable carrier at 75%, followed by Hamburg Süd at 72% and APL at 67%. Compared to January, Maersk Line is thus seen to have improved 3%, APL has improved 7% while Hamburg Süd has maintained their performance. In the past eight months, Maersk Line has been top performer five times while Hamburg Süd has been top performer three times. Reliability is measured as arrival on the same calendar day or the day before but expanding the on-time definition to include vessels arriving only one day late shows that reliability is 78% while the top three performers remain the same, all exhibiting improvements compared to January. Under that expanded definition, Maersk Line saw reliability increase from 89% to 91%, Hamburg Süd improved from 87% to 88% and APL improved from 86% to 87%. At the lower end of the league, however, MSC’s reliability slid from 63% in January to 61% last month. Out of 8,400 measured arrivals in February 2012, Seaintel’s monthly schedule reliability report now includes 1,900 arrivals in trades to and from Africa, Middle East and the Indian Subcontinent. Measurements are based on the SeaIntel database comprised of more than 58,000 arrivals across 2,200 vessels, 29 trade lanes and 51 carriers since July 2011.
