The container shipping industry is dynamic and volatile and has been marked in recent years by instability, as a result of continued deterioration of market environment. Furthermore, the shipping liner industry went through major developments and structural changes which include reshaping of the alliances and M&A activities that took place over recent years. The instability and volatility in the market, including significant uncertainties in the global trade, continue to affect the market environment.

Since the fourth quarter of 2017 and until the second quarter of 2018, freight rates have decreased while bunker prices, as well as charter rates, increased, negatively affecting the industry as a whole. In the second half of 2018, freight rates started to recover, while bunker prices remained highly volatile, though overall decreased.

Confronted with tough business environment, ZIM continued to record improvements and to introduce new services to its customers.

In September 2018, the Company launched its strategic operational cooperation with the 2M Alliance. According to this cooperation, the Company and the parties of the 2M Alliance (Maersk and MSC) operate together several lines between Asia and the US East-Coast. In January 2019, The Company and the members of the 2M Alliance announced a second strategic cooperation agreement in two additional trades: Asia – East Mediterranean and Asia – American Pacific Northwest. Such cooperation agreements enable ZIM to provide its customers with improved product portfolio, larger port coverage and better transit time, while generating cost efficiencies.

Eli Glickman, ZIM President & CEO, said: “During 2018, we have commenced the first phase of our strategic operational cooperation with the 2M Alliance, recently expanded to two additional trades. The agreement enables ZIM to offer better product and service portfolio to our customers, and cope with the volatile freight rates and fuel prices. We were able to achieve improved cost efficiencies while significantly increasing the transported volumes. At the same time, we continue to put our customer service at the center, introducing new services and investing in innovative digital solutions.”
