Two major ZIM services - Zim Container Service (ZCS) and East Mediterranean Express Service (EMX) – will employ Super-Slow Steaming, a measure that will enable substantial fuel savings and significantly reduced CO2 and NOx emissions. Super-Slow steaming will commence in both services in the coming weeks.‪

ZIM will add a 4250 TEU’s vessel to each service, thus maintaining similar levels of service in terms of frequency and with only minor changes in transit times. ZCS will deploy 16 vessels while EMX will deploy 11 vessels.

Slow steaming is in line with ZIM’s streamlining and savings efforts.

ZIM is one of the first shipping companies whose owned fleet is Environmental Management (ISO 14001) certified. The Super-Slow Steaming will reduce the CO2 and NOx emission drastically in these two lines, and will support ZIM's ongoing commitment to sustainability and environmental awareness.    ‪
