Ocean import delay analysis

How late, when late

Every shipment placed in a band. Early and on-time are shown too, so the delayed share is read against the whole, not on its own.

Delay rate by arrival date

Share of each day’s arrivals that came in late. A single late vessel puts the same delay on every container it carried, so a tall isolated bar is usually one sailing rather than a bad week — the count under each bar is the check on that.
