Punctual through 2023 – 94% on time

There are a couple of larger ports which are not managing to work efficiently. Often this is due to the very size of the large vessels they have to operate. On paper large vessels are more efficient, or deemed more environmentally friendly. In practice they create ever more trans-shipment requirements and do not meet their berthing windows due to the large number of containers they discharge and load. Moreover, they add to congestion landside and additional costs to ports.

Smaller ships such as in the Line’s services, offering frequency, reliability and personal service do not offer economies of scale. They do provide clients together with valued partners such as ports and truckers a proper and consistent supply chain.
