ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. announced a significant restructuring of its Cross-Atlantic services, aiming to enhance its offerings between the Mediterranean and the Americas. This strategic move will establish two distinct weekly service strings, one dedicated to direct routes from Mediterranean ports to Canada and the U.S. East Coast.
The second service string will cover Latin America and the Caribbean, operating via Kingston, Jamaica, and connecting with ZIM's existing feeder network. This expansion includes incorporating additional key export ports in Turkey and Italy, while also extending coverage to the West Coast of South America and the Caribbean.
The new service structure is designed to maintain ZIM's broad geographical direct coverage across the Cross-Atlantic trade. It is subject to the execution of a new operational cooperation agreement with Hapag-Lloyd and the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, reflecting ZIM's commitment to optimizing its network and meeting customer demand.
