Sea-Intelligence has published issue 174 of the _Global Liner Performance (GLP) report_, with schedule reliability figures up to and including January 2026. 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 January 2026, global industry schedule reliability dropped by -0.4 percentage points M/M to 62.4%, the highest monthly figure in 2021-2026. On a Y/Y level, schedule reliability was up 11.0 percentage points. The average delay for LATE vessel arrivals also deteriorated, increasing M/M by 0.07 days to 5.17 days. This is the highest figure since February 2025. On a Y/Y level, the January 2026 figure was -0.21 days lower.

Hapag-Lloyd and Maersk were the joint-most reliable top-13 carriers in January 2026 with schedule reliability of 72.2%. The following seven carriers were in the 60-70% range, while the remaining four carriers were in the 50-60% range. PIL was the least reliable carrier with schedule reliability of 50.1%. Only seven carriers recorded an M/M improvement, while twelve carriers recorded a Y/Y improvement in schedule reliability.

In December/January 2026, Gemini Cooperation recorded 89.5% schedule reliability across ALL arrivals and 88.3% across TRADE arrivals, followed by MSC at 68.7% for ALL arrivals and 66.8% for TRADE arrivals. Premier Alliance recorded 58.8% for ALL arrivals and 59.4% across TRADE arrivals. For the "old" alliances, "ALL arrivals" remain equal to "TRADE arrivals," and Ocean Alliance scored 64.0%.

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.
