Sea-Intel: non-alliances’ share doubles on trans-Pacific

Sea-Intelligence’s latest Global Liner Performance report shows improving schedule reliability up to March 2024, but still below pre-crisis levels.

MSC is poised to increase size gap over CMA CGM, and Maersk will become the second-largest carrier; Hapag-Lloyd aims to maintain top-5 status.

According to Sea-Intelligence, shipping lines face declining spot rates, and they can either increase blank sailings to stabilise rates or capitalise on higher rates despite declines.

The impact of elections in India, Mexico, the European Parliament, and the United States, could introduce further uncertainty to supply chain risks in 2025.

The average delay for LATE vessel arrivals improved to 5.46 days, roughly the same level as pre-crisis, meaning that the increase due to the crisis has reverted.

Network overviews from major liner alliances point to continuous decline in connectivity for the Port of Hong Kong.
