List of Most Reliable Container Shipping Companies Places Maersk, Hamburg Süd at Top

December 12, 2014
Drewry

Maersk Line and Hamburg Süd were by far the most reliable carriers in the three months to October 2014 with overall on-time performances of 80.4 percent and 78.5 percent, respectively. The next best-performing carrier was Cosco at 69.9 percent, with its CKYHE Alliance partners, Evergreen, K Line, Hanjin Shipping and Yang Ming, not too far behind in that order.

Drewry has developed the new online version of its Carrier Performance Insight in collaboration with shipment management software solutions provider CargoSmart, using Automatic Identification System (AIS) data to measure on-time port arrivals against schedules on 350 different port pair combinations. The service provides carrier performance benchmarking on a port-to-port, trade lane, service and industry-wide basis, and is updated every month.

Industry-wide containership reliability improved gradually in the three-month period to October. The latest data shows that aggregate on-time performance for the Asia-Europe, trans-Pacific and trans-Atlantic trades improved to 64 percent in October, up from 63 percent in September and 55 percent in August.

“It is a positive to see reliability improving, but the industry’s on-time performance is still unacceptably low for many shippers,” said Simon Heaney, senior manager of supply chain research at Drewry.

Despite the steady monthly improvement, the rolling three-month performance (August-October) was lower than for the previous three months at 60.6 percent versus 61.1 percent. The average deviation between the scheduled day of arrival (ETA) and actual day of arrival (ATA) remained at 1.1 day for the same period.

The Asia-Europe trade was the least reliable during August-October with only 58 percent of ships arriving on-time, compared to 62 percent in the trans-Pacific and 77 percent in the trans-Atlantic.

Looking ahead, the recent drop in fuel prices could have some positive influence on reliability. Heaney elaborated: “Lower fuel costs won’t immediately see containerships running at their design speeds. But at the very least carriers should now be more willing to speed up if they fall behind schedule.”
