Global reliability fell for the fifth consecutive month to 24% on-time, 3pp lower than September. That is the lowest reading of the past 12 months and takes the global average below the 27% floor it touched in February and again in September.
Average vessel delay rose in step for the fifth consecutive month, up 0.4 days from September to 6.4 days across all arrivals.
Four of the eight trades improved their on-time percentage in October, three declined and one held flat. Average delay fell on six of the eight, yet every Asia-linked and Middle East trade still sits below 20% on-time.
Far East to Europe gained 3pp to 7% on-time and cut average delay by 0.9 days to 9.0 days. It remains the least reliable of the eight trades on both measures. Far East to North America held flat at 19% on-time while average delay fell by 0.8 days to 6.3 days.
