Maersk Line, Hamburg Süd, and MOL in September retained their positions as the three lines with the highest on-time performance in the liner industry, according to the latest figures from maritime analyst SeaIntel.
Maersk’s on-time performance rose from 74 percent in August to 85 percent in September, while Hamburg Süd’s on-time percentage dropped from 85 percent to 81 percent, and MOL’s fell from 70 percent to 68 percent, SeaIntel said. Global on-time performance increased from 63 percent in August to 66 percent in September.
“From a trade lane perspective, this improvement is primarily driven by improvements in the Asia-to-Mediterranean headhaul trade, as well as the Europe-to-Asia and transpacific westbound backhaul trades,” SeaIntel said.
Seven of the 17 individual lines analyzed improved during the month. SeaIntel’s monthly Global Liner Schedule Report analyzed 7,000 calls in September.
