Sea-Intelligence has published issue 167 of the Global Liner Performance (GLP) report, with schedule reliability figures up to and including June 2025. As the 120-page report is quite comprehensive and covers schedule reliability across 34 different trade lanes and 60+ carriers, this press release will only cover highlights from the full report.
In June 2025, schedule reliability recorded a 1.6 percentage point improvement M/M and reached 67.4%. This is the highest figure recorded since November 2023 and continues the trend of consistent M/M improvements since February this year. On a Y/Y level, schedule reliability was up 12.8 percentage points. Maersk was the most reliable top-13 carrier with schedule reliability of 81.0%, followed by Hapag-Lloyd with 76.5%. The next 7 carriers were in the 60%-70% range, and the remaining carriers were in the 55%-60% range. Yang Ming had the lowest June 2025 reliability of 55.4%.
Traditionally, alliance scores are based on just the arrivals in destination regions, but as that metric was not available for the new alliances in February, we introduced a new measure, based on all arrivals, including the origin region calls on the East/West trades. We continue to present both measures, “All arrivals” which is comparable to the February measure, and “Trade arrivals”, which is comparable to the “old” alliances. When the new alliances are fully rolled out, these two measures will converge. (....)
