ZIM’s history is rich and inspiring. ZIM set sail all those years ago with one small passenger ship, and operated small cargo ships in the Mediterranean basin. Later ZIM developed an impressive fleet of specialized ships, modern for their time, and expanded its scope of activities, reaching more destinations and opening agencies around the world. In the 1970’s, ZIM was among the world’s pioneers in container shipping, introducing ZIM Container Service - ZCS, a service that was first of its kind, set high standards of service, and continues to operate along the same basic outline to this day. ZIM gradually expanded and grew, but most importantly, adapted to a rapidly changing world. ZIM was early to identify global trends and develop services in growing markets around the globe, establishing hundreds of agencies and representative offices. Throughout the years, ZIM always attributed supreme importance to its relations with its customers. We strived to add to our global reach a measure of personal touch, to understand our customers’ unique needs and to walk the extra mile in order to fulfill their requirements. Our aim has always been to develop long-term relations with our customers, based on trust and reliability. Today, we are going through a process of change and improvement, upgrading and further developing ZIM’s level of service worldwide. The vision and determination of ZIM people, who laid the foundations to the company, can inspire us to look forward to the future with pride and confidence. Today, we wanted to share these sentiments with you, and to thank you for your support and cooperation.

Super-Slow steaming will commence in both services in the coming weeks.‪ ZIM will add a 4250 TEU’s vessel to each service, thus maintaining similar levels of service in terms of frequency and with only minor changes in transit times. ZCS will deploy 16 vessels while EMX will deploy 11 vessels. Slow steaming is in line with ZIM’s streamlining and savings efforts. ZIM is one of the first shipping companies whose owned fleet is Environmental Management (ISO 14001) certified. The Super-Slow Steaming will reduce the CO2 and NOx emission drastically in these two lines, and will support ZIM's ongoing commitment to sustainability and environmental awareness. ‪ Services details: ZIM Container Service (ZCS) Weekly Fixed-Day Service Route: Haifa - Piraeus - Livorno - Genoa - Tarragona - Halifax - New York - Savannah - Kingston - Panama Canal - Los Angeles - Oakland - Shenzhen-Da Cha - Hong Kong - Ningbo - Shanghai - Pusan - Balboa - Panama Canal - Kingston - Savannah - New York - Halifax - Tarragona - Haifa East Med Express Service (EMX) Weekly Fixed-Day Service Route: Pusan - Shanghai - Ningbo - Shenzhen-Da Cha - Port Kelang - Colombo - Suez - Haifa - Ashdod - Izmit - Evyap P - Novorossiysk - Constanta - Ambarli - Istan - Haifa - Suez - Nhava Sheva - Colombo - Port Kelang - Shenzhen-Da Cha - Xiamen - Pusan 11/26/2009 1:17:21 PMhttp://www.zim.com/NewsContent.aspx?id=1644&l=4&isArchive=0&newsCatId=18822nd September 2009: ZIM Integrated Shipping Services is pleased to announce that from 1st October it will call at the Egyptian port of Alexandria as part of its Adriatic Express Service (ADX).

Idan Ofer, Chairman of ZIM, said: “The world economy is changing, in particular the shipping market, and when the economic crisis is over we must be ready with the appropriate fleet to meet the world demand." ZIM’s CEO, Rafi Danieli, said: “The new mega vessels are a major step forward for the company’s fleet. They are significantly larger than the other ships we own and, as they can carry more containers, they are considerably more efficient. The delivery of the new vessels will lay the foundation to positioning ZIM as a leading company in the years to come." July 13, 2009: ZIM Integrated Shipping Services received the first consignment of its 12 mega vessel order with the arrival of ZIM LOS ANGELES. The 8,400 TEU ZIM LOS ANGELES is the first mega vessel owned by the company and will be followed by the delivery in two weeks time of ZIM DJIBOUTI. The 10,000 TEU containership will subsequently become ZIM’s largest vessel, twice the size of ZIM’s current flag ship. Both vessels will serve in partnership with the Grand Alliance serving the Pacific Northwest Service (PNX) loop from East Asia to West Coast US and Canada, providing an efficient and cost effective service for ZIM’s customers. Rafi Danieli added: “We have a strong partnership with the Grand Alliance. The introduction of the two new vessels will be the eighth cooperation agreement we have with the Alliance. This partnership with the Grand Alliance was enabled based on the company’s new building plan, and is an important strategic milestone in the company’s stabilization and recovery plan.” The mega vessels, built by Hyundai SAMHO Shipyards in South Korea, will enable ZIM to continue to offer weekly services on the route, whilst expanding the coverage by calling at additional ports through Asia and North America.
