carrier-reliability

What It Does

Predicts a carrier's on-time performance for a specific trade lane over the next 30 days using a 5-factor scoring model: Sea-Intelligence baseline (30%), AISstream schedule deviation (25%), destination berth congestion (20%), blank sailing probability (15%), and Freightos FBX rate volatility (10%).

Returns a reliability score (0-100), reliability level, trend direction, named action signal, alternative carrier options, and cost of inaction if you do not rebook.

At probability above 0.75, the REBOOK_NOW signal fires.

When to Use

Before booking ocean freight on a specific carrier and trade lane
When evaluating whether to rebook to an alternative carrier
When blank sailing risk is elevated and you need to compare options
For daily monitoring of top carriers across your core trade lanes
