Sea-Intelligence has published issue 168 of the Global Liner Performance (GLP) report, with schedule reliability figures up to and including July 2025. As the 120-page report is quite comprehensive and covers schedule reliability across 34 different trade lanes and 60+ carriers, this press release will only cover highlights from the full report.

In July 2025, schedule reliability declined M/M for the first time since January 2025, dropping by -2.2 percentage points M/M to 65.2%. On a Y/Y level, schedule reliability in July 2025 was up by 13.0 percentage points. The average delay for late vessel arrivals deteriorated, increasing by 0.14 days M/M to 4.68 days.

Maersk was the most reliable top-13 carrier with schedule reliability of 80.6%, followed by Hapag-Lloyd with 74.0%. The next 6 carriers were in the 60%-70% range, and the remaining carriers were in the 50%-60% range. HMM had the lowest July 2025 reliability of 50.7%.

Traditionally, alliance scores are based on just the arrivals in destination regions, but as that metric was not available for the new alliances in February, we introduced a new measure, based on all arrivals, including the origin region calls on the East/West trades. We continue to present both measures, “All arrivals” which is comparable to the February measure, and “Trade arrivals”, which is comparable to the “old” alliances. When the new alliances are fully rolled out, these two measures will converge.

In June/July 2025, Gemini Cooperation recorded 92.0% schedule reliability across ALL arrivals, and 89.6% across TRADE arrivals, followed by MSC at 76.5% for ALL arrivals and 76.2% for TRADE arrivals, while Premier Alliance recorded 54.6% for ALL arrivals and 54.8% across TRADE Arrivals. For the “old” alliances, “ALL arrivals” are equal to “TRADE arrivals”, and Ocean Alliance scored 69.4%.
