In the "SeaIntel Global Liner Performance Report", Hamburg Süd is ranked first in the "Road Reliability" category for the third time in a row for February 2017. Already in December 2016 and in January 2017 it had achieved this top position. Hamburg Süd averaged second place out of a total of 20 evaluated container shipping companies.
Punctuality, in particular, plays and important role in the transport of perishable goods. As one of the world's leading Reefer-Container-Carriers, Hamburg Süd ensures that fruit, vegetables or meat products reach their destination in good time.
Since a considerable portion of the cargo requires further transport or transshipment in order to achieve the intended door-to-door transport chain, Hamburg Süd's timekeeping reliability ensures efficiency and sustainability throughout the entire network. The more accurate the timekeeping is, the more efficiently all the parties involved can work together without the need to accelerate services, cause excessive waiting times in services, or miss services. This also has a positive impact on their carbon footprint, as accelerations, which normally lead to excessive fuel consumption, are avoided.
