SchedulesMCP compares ocean carriers on a lane by transit time and real on-time reliability — measured from actual vs scheduled arrivals across millions of tracked port calls, not carrier promises. A sister product to TrackingMCP.
Enter an origin and destination on the Compare page and SchedulesMCP ranks every carrier on that lane side by side — next departure, transit time, and observed on-time reliability. You can also ask an AI client to do it over the MCP server, or call the REST API.
It depends on the lane, so SchedulesMCP ranks carriers per origin-destination pair rather than giving one global answer. For your exact lane it sorts carriers by observed on-time reliability — the share of sailings that arrived on time, measured from actual versus scheduled arrivals across tracked port calls — and flags the most reliable one. Lanes without enough observations are marked early-data instead of guessed.
Transit time is how many days a sailing takes from origin to destination (SchedulesMCP reports the observed median and p90). On-time reliability is how often the carrier actually arrives when it said it would — the percentage of arrivals that matched the schedule. A fast lane that is frequently late can be worse to book than a slower, dependable one, so SchedulesMCP shows both.
From real observations, never carrier marketing. SchedulesMCP compares each actual port-call arrival against what the carrier scheduled, across millions of tracked port calls shared with its sister product TrackingMCP. A reliability figure only appears once a lane has enough observations to be honest; thin lanes are labelled early-data rather than given an invented score.
