The company operates a modern fleet of container vessels that call at major ports worldwide, offering scheduled liner services and tailored logistics solutions to exporters, importers and freight forwarders.

Beyond traditional ocean carriage, ZIM provides a suite of value-added services including inland trucking, intermodal rail connections, cold-chain management and specialized handling for high-value or oversized cargo. Its proprietary digital platform offers real-time booking, tracking and analytics tools, enabling customers to optimize supply-chain performance and manage costs more effectively.
Headquartered in Haifa, Israel, ZIM serves over 100 countries across major trade corridors, including Asia-Europe, trans-Pacific, Mediterranean, Latin America and Africa.
