ZIM Integrated Shipping (ZIM) announced that as of mid-May 2022, the transatlantic ZIM Container Turkey service (ZCT) will become a weekly service, providing an enhanced connection between Turkey and the US East Coast.

ZCT, originally introduced by ZIM to cater to customer needs and provide much-needed capacity to the market in this trade route, will continue to offer fast transit time and high schedule reliability, now with a weekly fixed-day frequency.

Starting next month, ZIM said the service will follow the Mersin – Yarimca – Aliaga – Tangier – New York – Norfolk – Savannah – Tangier – Mersin rotation.

"The enhanced weekly ZCT Service is part of our continued efforts to introduce agile, efficient, and reliable solutions to emerging market needs," said Rani Ben Yehuda, ZIM EVP Cross Atlantic.
