The shipping liner said that given the current port congestions and to secure the highest service reliability possible, it has decided to serve the trades with two separate loops, reports American Journal of Transportation.

With the changes, the Asia-Pacific North-West will be served by a new loop, ZIM North Pacific (ZNP) on the following rotation: Kaohsiung, Yantian, Ningbo, Shanghai, Pusan, Vancouver, Pusan and returning to Kaohsiung.

The Asia-East Mediterranean service will be served by a new loop, ZIM Med Premium Service (ZMP) on the following rotation: Pusan, Qingdao, Ningbo, Shanghai, Da Chan Bay, Port Kelang, Haifa, Ashdod, Istanbul, Yarimca, Port Kelang, Da Chan Bay, Xiamen and back to Pusan.

Both services, due to commence in April, are solely operated by ZIM, providing significant advantages to its customers, and ensuring high service levels, the shipping liner said.
