ZIM’s established ZCA Service will add the port of Ashdod to its route starting November. ZCA’s extensive coverage will now offer improved service to Israeli customers in the central and southern part of the country, for both export and import.

ZIM is offering faster transit times from the US East Coast to Ashdod & Haifa. The transit time from New York to Ashdod is 22 days, the fastest in the market. ZCA offers fast transit times from Savannah, Halifax and Kingston as well.

The new call aims to strengthen and enhance the services already offered by ZIM to the Israeli market, from and to both Haifa and Ashdod. 

The new ZCA route will be as follows: Haifa- Piraeus – Genova -  Tarragona – Halifax – New York – Savannah – Kingston -  - Tarragona – Ashdod - Haifa

Rafi Danieli, ZIM’s President and CEO: "ZIM pioneered the direct container service between Israel and Mediterranean ports and the US East Coast decades ago, and continued to provide premium service to customers throughout the years. The new call is another step in ZIM’s ongoing efforts to improve customer service and maintain ZIM’s leading position in this trade".
