Tackling the tariff trap
Are there more answers than questions?
The Gemini Alliance has dropped below its targeted 90% reliability for the first time since its launch, and is on “a downward trend”, according to analysts at liner database eeSea.
The platform’s latest two weeks of data, which now include Gemini’s first head-haul arrivals into North America, show that while reliability remains high, “the downward trend unfortunately continues”.
It revealed that the alliance’s on-time-performance (OTP) since its launch on 1 February had fallen below 90% for the first time.
