Schedule reliability improves substantial

Overall schedule reliability during 3Q 2025 was marginally better than in the preceding quarter yet was much improved compared to Q3 2024. Only three carriers noted a quarter-on-quarter decline, namely Hapag-Lloyd (-0.3 pts), ZIM (-0.5 pts) and Wan Hai (-8.1 pts), with the latter dropping to a reliability score of less than 52%. Gemini Cooperation partners Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd – facilitated by their 90% alliance reliability target (see DL 31/25) – head the ranking, ahead of MSC and CMA CGM. Alongside Wan Hai, at the bottom reside Premier Alliance members ONE, Yang Ming and HMM, with scores in the mid-50% bracket.
