Beyond the CPPI

The figure needs context

Arrival patterns, weather, draught or tidal restrictions, fleet mix, call size, route disruptions, geopolitical crises and global congestion can all affect the result. The CPPI is an operational benchmark; on its own it does not attribute causes or responsibilities.
