ZIM adds a second New York call, with best transit time to East Med
The revised ZCA rotation will offer best-in-market transit time from New York to East Med ports and most competitive transit time to major West-Med ports, the company reports.
ZIM Container Service Atlantic will add a second call in New York on the Eastbound stretch, starting March 2013. ZCA’s Weekly, Fixed-day service will have the following rotation:
Haifa – Piraeus – Genova – Tarragona –Halifax – New York –Savannah – Kingston – New York – Tarragona – Ashdod
The new rotation improves transit times to both West and East Mediterranean, offering a premium service with best-in-the-market transit time from NYC to East Med, while maintaining the well-established port coverage, schedule integrity, stability and reliability of ZCA. Via ZIM’s Hub in Haifa and our extensive, synchronized feeder network, further connections to major East-Med destinations are available with excellent transit times. The new rotation will provide much better service specifically for refrigerated cargo from NYC to Med destinations.
ZIM is also able to offer service westbound to Central America, Caribbean and US West Coast destinations via Halifax and our Kingston hub. The westbound high service levels and transit times continue without change.
Rafi Ben Ari, VP Shipping: “This additional enhancement to ZCA offers significant advantages to our customers, strengthening ZCA’s position in the market.“
