Zim idles new megaship delivery

Zim idles new megaship delivery    Israeli ocean carrier Zim has taken delivery of the second of eight 10,000-TEU vessels, though the vessel has not yet been assigned to any service, according to a report last week by Alphaliner.
   The Zim Antwerp follows the delivery earlier in 2009 of the Zim Djibouti, which the line deploys on the Grand Alliance-led transpacific PNX service.
   According to the report, the Antwerp is idled for now in Hong Kong. The ship is one of the three largest for debt-plagued Zim, which in 2009 took delivery of its first two mega-vessels. Nine more are to be delivered in the next couple years.
