Sea-Intelligence has published issue 162 of the Global Liner Performance (GLP) report, with schedule reliability figures up to and including January 2025. As the report itself is quite comprehensive and covers schedule reliability across 34 different trade lanes and 60+ carriers, this press release will only cover the global highlights from the full report.

Throughout 2024, schedule reliability stayed largely within 50-55%. The new year has started in a similar manner, with schedule reliability continuing to remain within that range. Incidentally, the January 2025 score of 51.5% is the same as in January 2024. On a M/M level though, schedule reliability dropped by -2.1 percentage points. The average delay for LATE vessel arrivals decreased by -0.01 days M/M to 5.32 days, which is the lowest that the delay figure has been since July 2024, and is lower than across all pandemic impacted years. On a Y/Y level, the January 2025 figure was -0.85 days lower.

Maersk was the most reliable top-13 carrier in January 2025 with schedule reliability of 55.0%, followed by another 6 carriers with schedule reliability over 50%. The remaining 6 top-13 carriers were within 46-50%, with Yang Ming and OOCL at the bottom with 46.6%. In January 2025, the difference between the most and least reliable carrier dropped to under 8.5 percentage points – the smallest difference since March 2017. Only 4 of the top-13 carriers recorded a M/M improvement, with Wan Hai recording the largest increase of 3.7 percentage points. On a Y/Y level, 7 carriers recorded an improvement, with Maersk recording the largest improvement of 10.9 percentage points.
