ZIM will in mid-May launch a new service structure between Asia and the West Coast of North America, in cooperation with the G6 alliance, offering top-level, fast and reliable services, with improved transit time and extended port coverage.
The new structure is composed of three weekly loops, NP1, NP2 and NP3.
The rotation of North Pacific 1 (NP1) is Singapore, Laem Chabang, Da Chan Bay, Hong Kong, Yantian, Vancouver, Tacoma, Seattle, Pusan, Kaohsiung.
North Pacific 2 (NP2) rotation is Hong Kong, Yantian, Kaohsiung, Shanghai, Pusan, Tacoma, Seattle, Vancouver, Yokohama, Pusan, Kwangyang.
North Pacific 3 (NP3) rotation is Qingdao, Ningbo, Shanghai, Pusan, Vancouver, Tacoma, Vancouver, Tokyo, Nagoya, Kobe.
The new structure offers customers significant advantages. With the additional third loop ZIM now offers better frequency and port coverage. Customers will benefit from services connecting South and North China and Korea and Pacific North West. Two gateways, Vancouver and Tacoma, with smooth and fast rail connection, allow for a best-in-market PNW product to inland US destinations.
