ZIM continues to operate and accept bookings to and from Israel; implementing new war risk premium charge, at cost, on relevant cargo – Update!

First and foremost, our thoughts are with the victims of the horrific and tragic events taking place in Israel, and we stand in support of our employees, their families, and affected communities. Our top priority is supporting our employees and ensuring their safety and security, while maintaining an unwavering commitment to meet the needs of our customers with an unrelenting focus on strict operational standards.

ZIM continues to operate and accept bookings to and from Israel. At this time, despite the war situation in Israel, all local terminals, in Ashdod, Haifa and Eilat, are operating as usual with some limitations on DG cargo that will be handled by our professional teams per case basis.

Service interruptions may occur, on short notice, as a result of safety guidelines dictated by the Israeli authorities, at which time we will provide additional updates.

In light of the war situation, insurers have imposed an additional war risk insurance premium
on all vessels calling Israeli ports, which we are now obligated to pay in order to maintain
service to and from Israel.

Although ZIM is paying this premium from immediate effect, it has decided to implement the
new charge, War Risk Premium (WRP) for cargo to/from Israel effective October 12th Gate-In
date. ZIM will charge the WRP, at cost, as detailed in the table below:

• The war risk premium surcharge will apply on cargo gated in on or after October 12th.
• For shipments between USA and Israel only, the war risk premium surcharge will apply on cargo gated in from October 17th onwards.
• Until further notice the surcharge from China will be applied to Haifa and Eilat ports only.
• As advised by our insurers, the war risk premium surcharge is subject to changes every
  24 hours and therefore we will update the war risk premium surcharge as per these
  changes.

ZIM is fully committed to ensuring consistent and reliable service to and from Israel, while
taking all necessary measures to meet all our customers’ needs during these challenging times.
We will keep you updated on future developments.

For any questions or if you require assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to your
dedicated Account Owner or our dedicated Customer Service teams.

Sincerely,
ZIM Customer Service
