Carrier schedule reliability improved in February
as the situation with rerouting from the Red Sea to avoid Houthi rebel attacks
normalised. Analysts
Sea-Intelligence has reported an
improvement in global schedule reliability for container lines in February 2024
up 1.7 percentage points from January to 53.3%.
“After a tumultuous few weeks in the
wake of the Red Sea crisis, some form of stability has ensued, with the
round-Africa routings now normalising,” commented Alan Murphy CEO of
Sea-Intelligence. Yet, the situation in
the Red Sea meant that reliability was 6.9 percentage points lower the same
month in 2023.
In Feb ‘24, Hapag-Lloyd was the most
reliable carrier amongst top 13 lines. Lowest among the top tier carriers was
Pacific International Lines (PIL) with a score of 45.3%.
