Ocean carriers achieved a six-month high for liner service reliability in May, 2016, with the most reliable carrier being OOCL, according to Carrier Performance Insight, which is the online schedule reliability tool provided by Drewry Supply Chain Advisors.

The on-time average of 76.0% for the 10 trades covered was a 4.1 point improvement on April, which represents the third straight month-on-month rise.

Along with the better on-time performance, so too was there an improvement for the average deviation from the expected arrival at port, which came down from 0.9 days in April to 0.8 days in May, the lowest it has been since December, 2015.

Eight of the 10 routes covered recorded month-on-month increases in May, the exceptions being Asia-Africa, down by 11.9 points to 772.5%, and Asia-South America that dropped by 1.5 points to 75.7%.

The biggest improvement was seen in the Transpacific, which rose by 9.8 points to 76.3%, which was the best since September, 2015.

The most reliable carrier in May was OOCL, which had an on-time average of 81.1%, very closely followed by Wan Hai (81.01%) and Evergreen (80.3%).

A further sign of the universal attempt by carriers to improve reliability was the fact that the spread between the most and least reliable carrier was below 11 points as all lines scored above 70%.

Simon Heaney, Senior Manager of Supply Chain Research at Drewry, said: “Service reliability is on a steadily improving path and is close to the heights reached in H2, 2015. We expect the trend to continue through the next few months as carriers put reliability close to the top of their marketing.”

Fact File: Building on Drewry’s long established schedule reliability benchmarking that started back in 2005; the new Carrier Performance Insight provides the ability to benchmark the reliability performance of container carriers on a port-to-port, trade lane, service and industry-wide basis. This information is available via a user-friendly website powered by data from global shipment management software solutions provider CargoSmart.
