Transpacific network update - ZXB, Z7S and ZGC service updates

Dear ZIM Customer,
We are pleased to inform you of the following changes, starting February 2025, with ZIM's new network
from Asia to USEC & US Gulf.

(1) ZXB service will include an exclusive call at Boston port in its rotation.
The updated service provides enhanced connectivity between Asia and the U.S. East Coast, offering
faster transit times and broader coverage through the only direct call between Asia and Boston.

Service Highlights:

  • Optimized Transit Times: Best-in-market transit time from Cai Mep to Charleston and
    Savannah.
  • Comprehensive Coverage: Extensive reach from South China and Vietnam to the U.S. East
    Coast.
  • Unique Connectivity: Exclusive connections from South China and Vietnam to Jacksonville.

The updated New ZXB Rotation:
Singapore – Cai Mep – Haiphong – Yantian – Panama Canal – Cartagena – Charleston – Savannah –
Jacksonville – New York – Boston – Suez Canal – Singapore
The port of Baltimore, initially part of this service rotation, will be serviced on our Z7S (ZIM Seven Stars),
which covers SE Asia and South China as well as by ZNS (ZIM North Star), covers North China and Korea.

(2) Z7S (ZIM Seven Stars) will add Colombo call on the back-haul leg. The updated rotation: Singapore
