Zim starts Asia/Med loop
Israeli ocean carrier Zim Integrated Shipping Services has today started Far East Med Express Service, initially on a fortnightly basis.
The new loop uses four ships of 2,800 TEUs to 3,700 TEUs calling Xiamen, Shekou, Port Kelang, Colombo, Djibouti, Ain Sukhna, Ashdod, Haifa, Alexandria, Djibouti, Port Kelang and back to Xiamen.
The vessel 'Yellow Sea' started the new service when it departed today from Port Kelang. Extra ships are expected to be added to the service in the near future to improve the sailing frequency to weekly.
