ZIM Announces a significant upgrade of its independent India-Med Express Line (IMX)
Dear ZIM Customers,
ZIM is pleased to announce a significant upgrade of ZIM’s India-Med Express Line (IMX).
Starting September, the port rotation of ZIM’s Express service to India will change, and the transit time will be shortened significantly and will be the fastest in the market on this trade.
In order to improve our service to customers and cater for market needs, ZIM will introduce changes to IMX service, as follows: the line will operate 5 vessels, and the round-trip will be shortened to 35 days. The new rotation will commence in Colombo, Sri-Lanka, followed by Nhava-Sheva and Mundra.
Transit time to East Med ports will be reduced significantly, in some ports by a week to 10 days.
Here is the transit time table, indicating the improved transit time compared to the previous rotation (in brackets)
