Weekly analysis of cancelled sailings

With carriers carefully adjusting their schedules to meet demand during the global pandemic, access to a regularly updated picture of service availability is more important than ever. We closely analyse our various service and schedule data feeds to provide a forward picture of anticipated market development - by alliance across the main trades, and to provide historical context include year-on-year comparisons in the weekly analysis.

As well as a summary assessment and commentary against each key trade lane, weekly updates include analysis of the following:

• Cancelled vs Scheduled Sailings (for the last month)
• A weekly ’forward analysis’ of cancellations for each main trade; Transpacific, Asia-North Europe and Mediterranean and Transatlantic
• Capacity Availability Indicator (anticipating capacity on each trade over the next 4 weeks)
• Effective capacity
• Monthly year-on-year cancelled sailings comparison (2019 vs 2020), by trade lane and alliance
• History of weekly Cancelled Sailings by alliance and trade lane (e.g. Week 23-42) - past 16 weeks
• Vessel names and capacity for all trades (past 16 weeks)

Capacity Availability Indicator

To provide a snapshot assessment of each main trade lane, weekly report updates include a traffic-light indicator of available capacity. Various inputs go into this indicator, including cancellation numbers and spot rate development on that trade.
