HAIFA,
Israel, Nov. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
ZIM Integrated Shipping Services
Ltd. (NYSE: ZIM), a global container liner
shipping company, reaffirmed today its continued commitment to
serve the East Mediterranean and Israeli ports. Operations to and
from these ports will be maintained with the highest regard for
safety protocols which are essential to safeguarding the interests
of all stakeholders.
In light of the threat to safe transit of global trade in the
Arabian and Red Seas, ZIM is taking temporary proactive measures to
ensure the safety of its crews, vessels, and customers' cargo by
re-routing some of its vessels. As a result of these measures,
longer transit times in the relevant ZIM services are anticipated,
though every effort is being made to minimize disruptions.
ZIM is closely monitoring the situation to address potential
risks and ensure the ongoing safety and efficiency of its
operations.
ZIM will maintain the highest level of service to its
customers.
