<DIV>26-Jul-2012 , Worldwide<BR><BR>A new research report confirms the
Asia-Europe product 'Daily Maersk' is a powerful differentiator for Maersk Line
as it continues to lead global container shipping lines in
reliability.<BR><BR>The report, a joint effort between ecommerce network
provider INTTRA and container shipping analyst SeaIntel, examined the
performance of the top 20 container lines in schedule reliability.<BR><BR>In the
past year, Maersk Line has been the No.1 carrier in eight of the months and No.2
for four. The report also highlights, among others, the effect of Daily Maersk
on Maersk Line's June reliability, a month when many carriers saw reliability
dip.<BR><BR>"Maersk Line reached a 98% on time performance to North Europe in
June, which is the highest performance seen in 2012 of any carrier, which
clearly shows not only their commitment to the 'Daily Maersk' concept, but also
their operational capability of actually delivering it," reads the
report.<BR><BR>The significance of the June performance is that it marks the end
of a three-month period known for the lack of reliability from shipping
lines.<BR><BR>Daily Maersk achieved 97% reliability in this period, a result
that Maersk Line's Vincent Clerc says emphasises the value of the
product.<BR><BR>"This year has been a bit special," says Clerc, Maersk Line's
chief trade and marketing officer. "Many carriers have adjusted their networks
after the Chinese New Year as they phased in new cooperation, such as the G6 or
the cooperation between MSC and CMA. It has been a tough time for customers, but
overall the product offering on Asia-Europe will be greatly enhanced as a
result. I guess it is another positive impact for Daily Maersk.<BR><BR>"For
Maersk Line though the situation is a bit different. The Daily Maersk product is
designed to be stable. We are mapping network changes in advance, so no matter
how much we slow down the vessels or alter port calls or vessel rotations, the
customer doesn't feel it. Reliability is something customers must experience
consistently and we are happy to see through these numbers that we are able to
deliver this better than anybody else."<BR><BR>After nine months of operation,
Daily Maersk continues to deliver on its promise of daily sailings and
guaranteed reliability, averaging about 97% since inception.<BR><BR>For more
