The Schedule Reliability Scorecard (SRS) contains high-level visualizations and commentary on the global developments; two kinds of carrier rankings; trade lane scores; regional and port rankings; and a description of our methodology.
We are pleased to share the latest edition of eeSea’s Schedule Reliability Scorecard (SRS), now updated for Q1 2024. This report continues to deliver insights into global shipping performance, providing information for stakeholders across our industry.
In this quarter’s update, we have updated the Top 50 Reliable Ports rankings, built from the analysis of over 6,000 active container vessels and 12,000 port calls per month. SRS offers a detailed examination broken down by carriers, trade lanes, regions, and ports.
Key takeaways from Q1 2024
Downward Trend in schedule reliability − Q1 saw a decline in schedule reliability, continuing the trend from the end of 2023. On-time performance dropped from 35% to 27% in Q1, with delays exacerbated by geopolitical issues and infrastructure disruptions.
Top performing ports − Guayaquil, Ecuador ascended to the top spot in our Top 50 Reliable Ports ranking, with remarkable consistency.
Regional observations − Mega-ports such as Singapore and Busan are gradually improving but remain outside the top rankings. Shanghai stands out as a high performer among large ports, securing 26th place.
Carrier Performance − Maersk remains the leading carrier, despite overall declines in performance metrics. Wan Hai has emerged as a new leader in the VSA rankings, demonstrating the dynamic competitive landscape.
