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.
By destination port
Where the delay actually lands — a congested discharge port shows up here rather than under the carrier.

Reading this
Delay is measured against each shipment’s own estimated arrival on the same manifest record, so it reflects what was promised for that shipment. Average days late is taken over delayed shipments only.
A delay is usually a property of one sailing: every container off a late ship arrives the same day. It is not only that — an estimated arrival is set per bill of lading at booking, so two containers on the same ship can carry different delays. Across the shipments that name a vessel, two thirds of same-ship, same-day groups share a single delay value and a third do not.
Watch the counts. A carrier or lane with a handful of shipments can show a dramatic rate off one or two late arrivals — the n beside every bar is there so a small sample is never mistaken for a pattern.
