Drewry says that the Gemini Cooperation has made headlines recently with its plan to raise schedule reliability above 80%. In a recent investor presentation, Maersk CEO Vincent Clerc said that charging customers a premium for on-time ship arrivals \u201cis a conversation we\u2019ve started\u201d and added that Gemini needed to show that it had a consistent track record of improved reliability. But as average waiting times of arriving containerships in Europe lengthened, to an average of 1.9 days in October, ocean carriers found it difficult to keep to their schedules overall, Drewry reports. Ship waiting times at several major European ports were longer than the equivalent times at ports in China, based on Drewry Container Capacity Insight data."}
