About ZIM
Haifa-headquartered ZIM Integrated Shipping Services blends asset-light flexibility with heavy tech investment. The line currently fields ≈781 000 TEU across 130 ships—around 2.4 % of global capacity. A fresh charter spree adds ten 11 500-TEU LNG dual-fuel vessels (2027-28 delivery) and twelve 15 000-TEU methanol-ready giants tied to a Maersk-ZIM green-corridor pact, pushing capacity toward 1 M TEU by 2029. ZIM’s digital DNA shows in its WAVE BL rollout, AI-driven slot pricing and a venture arm backing logistics start-ups. TrackCargo fuses ZIM’s EDI feed with 15-min AIS pings, refreshing milestones every 30 min and consolidating multiple boxes under one BL—delivering a single, share-ready timeline from gate-in to POD.
