Sea-Intelligence: Shipper are right, shipping is getting worse

Last week, Jordi Espin of the European Council of Shippers (ESC) complained that shippers paid more for a worse service. This week Sea-Intelligence showed that he was right in his opinion with more shipping services being delayed and significantly more delayed delivery than last year.

According to Sea-Intelligence's statistics, there are more late arrivals than last year and better reliability than 2018. However, among the transports that are delayed, the level of delay is even greater with 2019 and 2018.

Although, the reliability of the schedule has increased monthly with an average in May increased by 5% compared to April to 74.9%. The figures for this reliability are still challenging.

Sea-Intelligence said: "However, a recent analysis published in our Sunday Sportlight magazine shows that this is not the case. Improvements in schedule reliability may simply be the case but fewer ships are easier to manage in each service chain. In that case, as demand increases, the reliability of the schedule will be reduced. "

Delay sailings have been more than five days late since February, except in March when service levels improved slightly to 4.75 days. According to Sea-Intelligence, the index of delay is always high continuously throughout 2020.

According to the evaluation index of this Danish consultancy, the index of Hamburg Süd was the best in May this year. Ranked next is Zim, the only carrier among the top 15 carriers with better performance this year than the previous year.

Carrier PIL with trouble in Singapore is the airline with the lowest index. Wan Hai and OOCL both have significantly lower indexes than last year.
