APL’s 2011 on-time record in Trans-Pacific is 94%
SINGAPORE, 31 JANUARY, 2012 – APL, the world’s seventh largest container shipping carrier, today announced that its on-time performance in the Trans-Pacific trade was 94% last year.
In its final year measure of 2011 vessel reliability, the Singapore-based carrier said today that APL ships missed their arrival window just 15 times out of 234 port calls to the US West Coast. The delays were due to inclement weather and port congestion.
“We have continued our focus on providing customers with schedule reliability,” said APL President Ken Glenn. “Although our reliability figures have consistently remained above 90%, we won’t be satisfied until we achieve an even better on-time performance, in any market situation.”
The report measures reliability on the five Asia-to-US West Coast services operated exclusively by APL vessels.
