Israeli shipping line Zim Integrated Shipping Services announced it will restructure its service network in the Asia-Indian Sub-continent/East Mediterranean/North Europe trade to improve alignment and coverage.

Zim said it will fine-tune this February its AME service to focus on the growing Asia–East Med/Black Sea trade, and offer an enhanced network of dedicated, synchronized links by trade.

The enhanced AME service will now have a port rotation of Xiamen, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Port Kelang, Nhava Sheva, Mundra, Alexandria, Ashdod, Haifa, Mersin, Haifa, Port Kelang, and back to Xiamen.

The India Sub-Continent-Europe trade will be served on the INE service, rotating among Hamburg, Antwerp, Tilbury, Nhava Sheva, Mundra, and Hamburg.

The Med-North Europe trade will be served by two loops. The North Europe Service 1 (NE1) will make port calls in Felixtowe, Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, Le Havre, Ashdod, Alexandria, Haifa, Ashdod, Valencia, and Felixtowe.

The North Europe Service 2 (NE2) follows this port rotation: Felixtowe, Rotterdam, Bremerhaven, Antwerp, Haifa, Limassol, Alexandria, Ashdod, Salerno, and Felixtowe.
