History2
ZIM's story spans more than half a century. From its beginnings as a carrier of
immigrants from war-torn Europe to the ports of the future State of Israel, ZIM has
grown to become one of the world’s leading shipping companies, operating in
every part of the globe.

It was David Remez, Israel's first Minister of Transportation, who came up with
the name "ZIM". Remez was inspired by a passage in the Bible (Numbers 24:24),
in which the Hebrew word ZIM refers to a number of large vessels. This very
appropriate, historic name therefore reflects one of the company's earliest goals:
building a large merchant fleet.
ZIM was established in 1945 by the Jewish Agency, Histadrut labor federation,
and the Israel Maritime League. The company's first ship, the Kedmah, was
purchased in 1947. The early fleet included ships that were refitted to carry
immigrants from Europe and to bring much-needed supplies during the 1948 War
of Independence, and the difficult early years of statehood.
1953 began a 15-year run of global expansion for ZIM, during which the company
acquired 36 passenger, cargo, bulk-carrier, and container ships, and launched a
range of passenger and cargo services. ZIM discontinued its passenger services in
the late 1960s, as air travel became more popular and widely accessible. Now, ZIM
was ready to dedicate all its energy and resources to international cargo shipping.
In 1972, ZIM introduced the innovative ZCS. The “ZIM Container Service” was a
three-continent line, with a scheduled 100-day journey that originated in Israel and
included ports of call in the Far East, Asia, America and Europe. During this
period, ZIM also deployed tankers to carry crude oil from Iran to Israel, and
finished goods from Israel to Europe.
During the late 1980s, ZIM embarked on a massive fleet renovation and expansion
project. From 1990 to 1997, ZIM built 15 modern ships, enabling the company to
offer a weekly fixed-day sailing schedule, positioning ZIM among the world’s top-
ranking shipping companies.
In response to the global shipping crisis in 1997, a result of the financial crisis in
Asia, ZIM launched a new effort to optimize the company’s operations through
increased efficiency and focused expansion. The company added 13 new 5,000
TEU container ships to its fleet, increasing ZIM’s cargo capacity by a remarkable
50% within two years.
In 2004, the Israel Corporation acquired ZIM shares held by the government,
completing ZIM's privatization process. A new ownership structure was
established following a large-scale financial restructuring in 2014.
Operational statistics
ZIM shareholders are Kenon Holdings Ltd. (32%) and Financial Institutions and
Ship-Owners (68%).
This constitutes the solid foundations from which to expand ZIM's activities, and
the strong support needed in order to lead ZIM further with new, outstanding
shipping services and solutions.

Environmental Protection
In keeping with our pioneering tradition, ZIM was one of the first shipping
companies in the world to receive Environmental Management certification ISO
14001 for its company-owned fleet. On some major services, we operate Super-
Slow Steaming to enable substantial fuel savings and significantly reduced CO2
and NOx emissions. In addition, the ZIM fleet complies with all relevant treaties
for the prevention of marine pollution, including MARPOL, IMDG, ballast water
management, oil spills (SOPEP), sewage, garbage, and air pollution standards.
ZIM ships use low-sulfur fuels, and are also equipped for the use of electric shore
power while in port (cold ironing), to reduce the environmental impact of the main
engines. Wherever we are in the world, ZIM takes the future of our environment to
heart.
Our Environmental Target is: to improve our average environmental emissions
every year, by at least 1%! We also aim at reducing it by at least 10% in the next
10 years between 2015 and until 2025!
At ZIM, our dedication to quality is certified and assured. We maintain the very
highest standards of quality in every aspect of container shipping, and hold all
relevant international and industry certifications. Certificates:
