Even with historically low schedule reliability in 2021, there were 3 deep-sea services that had 100% schedule reliability across the entire year. In fact, roughly 11% of the deep-sea services were at 70% or higher. What this means, is that even in the most trying of times, shippers can find those marginal gains in ocean reliability. In issue 611 of the Sunday Spotlight, we looked at how big those marginal gains could have been, if shippers modelled their service selection based on historical schedule reliability. This of course is a simplistic approach, as supply chains are often not agile enough to make such short-term changes. (....)
