According to Analysts
Sea-Intelligence Global Liner Performance report container shipping schedule
reliability dropped 2.5 percentage points month-on-month in April 2024. This wipes out improvements in February and
March and leaves the index just 0.6 percentage points above levels in January
this year.
On a year-on-year basis schedule
reliability is negative 12.1% points down on the April 2023 as the Red Sea
crisis and container ship diversions continue their toll. After a period of normalisation, supply chain disruption is on the
rise again with growing port congestion also part of the mix, including at
key hubs such as Singapore.
The most reliable top 13 carrier in April 2024
was Wan Hai with 59% schedule reliability, followed by fellow Taiwanese line Evergreen at 53.2%. And ZIM recorded lowest schedule
reliability at 44.2% in April.
