Zim adds Ashdod on transatlantic to extend reach to south, central Israel

ISRAELI flag carrier Zim has announced it is adding a call at Ashdod to its Zim Container Atlantic (ZCA) service in November to enhance service to central and southern Israel.

The service, transitting Ashdod to New York in 22 days, will rotate through Haifa, Piraeus, Genoa, Tarragona, Halifax, New York, Savannah, Kingston, Tarragona, Ashdod and back to Haifa.

"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," said Zim president and CEO Rafi Danieli.
