Drewry scores Maersk Line 90.5% for reliability in Q3 2012. Every quarter Drewry releases its industry benchmark on reliability –  the Drewry Schedule Reliability Insight. Every quarter Maersk Line is in the very top, and they have now had a 1st place ranking for six consecutive quarters. The score of 90.5% in Q3 is slightly lower than for Q2, but still high enough to make first place. None of the other carriers in the top 20 had a reliability score above 90%. How do you become reliable? What is Maersk Line doing to improve reliability?

Container service reliability reached a new high in the final quarter of 2011 with an on-time average of 69% across all the trades covered by Drewry’s Schedule Reliability Insight report, just published. The latest result was up by 6 percentage points over the previous quarter, meaning that schedule reliability has improved for three consecutive quarters, a feat only equalled once before between 4Q08 and 2Q09. Despite the positive results, the report points out that when the previous record of 68% was set in the second quarter of 2009 there followed a sharp deterioration in reliability.

Drewry: Container Schedule Reliability Improvement

Container service reliability improved for the second quarter in a row during the third quarter of 2011, according to Drewry Maritime Research’s latest Schedule Reliability Insight report. The report is the longest established independent survey of liner service reliability in the marketplace with data stretching back to the end of 2005. The proportion of 3,281 ships arriving on time (defined as either arriving at port on the advertised ETA or a day earlier) at selected ports in the third quarter of 2011 rose by 8 percentage points against the previous quarter to 63%. Maersk Line retained its position as the most reliable of the Top 20 carriers (by vessel fleet size) across all the trades covered by Drewry.

Container Service Reliability Ratings Rise in 2Q 2011

The latest measure of container service reliability by Drewry’s Schedule Reliability Insight showed a steady improvement, with the percentage of ships arriving on time at selected ports rising to 56% in the second quarter of 2011, up from 51% in the first quarter. The overall figure for 2Q11 also compares well with the on-time reliability score of 52% in the same period of 2010. Despite continued freight rate erosion, shippers are getting better service in the East-West routes with reliability rising most in the Asia/Europe/Med, which increased by 13 percentage points against the previous period to 62% in 2Q11. Maersk Line regained its customary position as the most reliable of the Top 20 carriers (by vessel fleet size) across all the trades covered by Drewry.
