ZIM to enhance Black Sea-Ukraine service

BSU Line will call at the port of Thessaloniki, improving transit time and integration with ZIM’s global network
 
Starting in April, Zim Integrated Shipping Services Ltd.’s BSU (Black Sea-Ukraine Service) Line will call at the port of Thessaloniki, improving transit time and integration with ZIM’s global network.  
 
The service's new route will be as follows:
Ashdod – Haifa – Limassol – Odessa  Illychevsk – Varna – Kumport – Izmit – Thessaloniki – Izmir – Piraeus – Ashdod.                                                                          
 
The enhanced service will connect Thessaloniki via ZIM's network to all major trade routes to and from Asia (China, SE Asia and India), the U.S.A., Europe and Africa as well as other destinations, creating significant savings in transit time.
 
The new call also introduces shorter transit times between Thessaloniki and regional ports in the Ukraine, Bulgaria, Turkey, Israel and Cyprus. The new route is one of many improvements ZIM is making as part of its ongoing campaign to create flexible responses to a dynamic market.
