As routes around Africa return to normal and carriers' service networks stabilize, schedule reliability has improved markedly. In March 2024, this figure increased by 1.6 percentage points compared to the previous month, reaching 54.6%.

However, it has not yet reached pre-crisis levels. Year-over-year, March 2024 scheduled reliability decreased by 7.9 percentage points. The average delay due to late arrivals decreased by 0.52 days month-on-month to 5.03 days, showing a slight improvement compared to the pre-crisis figure recorded in November 2024.

During March 2024, Wan Hai emerged as the most reliable carrier among the top 13, with a scheduled reliability of 59.7%. Hapag-Lloyd and ZIM follow closely with the same scheduled reliability figure of 56.1%. In addition, 8 other carriers also achieved a reliability rate above the 50% threshold. On the other hand, PIL ranked as the least reliable carrier with a scheduled reliability of 49%.

"11 of the top-13 were able to record a M/M improvement in schedule reliability in March 2024, with the largest improvement of 11.1 percentage points recorded by Wan Hai. CMA CGM recorded the largest decline of -1.8 percentage points. On a Y/Y level, none of the 13 carriers recorded an increase in schedule reliability, with PIL recording the largest decline of -18.1 percentage points,” explained Alan Murphy, CEO of Sea-Intelligence.
