The story

Inside ZIM

ZIM Integrated Shipping Services was founded in 1945 and is Israel’s national carrier. Rather than compete on raw scale, ZIM runs an asset-light, chartered fleet and focuses on selected high-value niche trades where speed and service command a premium.

Listed on the NYSE since 2021, ZIM has invested heavily in digital freight tools and LNG-powered vessels, and cooperates selectively with larger lines on the transpacific.
