Per shipment, the day a container was discharged at Felixstowe minus the first planned arrival there, over only the shipments with both — whole days, exact to within a day either way; negative means ahead of plan. Each shipment is measured against its own plan, so it is not weighted by loading port. Every container on a late vessel is late together, so the slip is shown only when those shipments came on at least 5 sailings.
