Following an encouraging increase in global schedule reliability in March, this has levelled out, with carriers recording a 1.0 percentage point m-o-m decrease in April, reaching 39.2%.
That’s according to the latest Sea-Intelligence Global Liner Performance (GLP) report, which points out that April continues the trend of previous months, recording the lowest schedule reliability for any April on record in the ten years that the maritime consultancy has been publishing the report. The gap compared to 2020 is a steep -30.6 percentage points.
The average delay for late vessel arrivals, however, continued its downward trend, with the April figure 0.59 days lower m-o-m, albeit still higher by 0.61 days y-o-y, and still showing the highest for any April at 5.68 days. The gap y-o-y is however closing compared to previous months this year.
