PRESS ROOM

Schedule reliability data up to July 2024 has been released by Sea-Intelligence in its latest Global Liner Performance (GLP) report.

This is of great interest for the U-Freight Group with our strong presence in the international container shipping market, including LCL and FCL import and export operations around the world, and we note that in July 2024, global schedule reliability dropped by 2.1 percentage points month-over-month to 52.1%.

Sea-Intelligence says that this level is nearly the same as at the beginning of the year, consistent with 2024’s trend of reliability fluctuating between 50% and 55%. Year-over-year, schedule reliability in July 2024 was down by 12.0 percentage points compared to July 2023.

The average delay for late vessel arrivals slightly improved, decreasing by 0.02 days month-over-month to 5.24 days, a figure only surpassed by the pandemic peaks of 2021-2022. Compared to the previous year, the July 2024 delay figure was 0.63 days higher.

On a year-on-year level, none of the carriers recorded an increase in schedule reliability, said Sea-Intelligence.

The U-Freight Group understands the Sea-Intelligence report is extensive, covering schedule reliability across 34 trade lanes and over 60 carriers. Clients can rest assured that our ocean freight staff will do all they can to counter the disruptive effects of ongoing poor schedule reliability being experienced at the moment.
