2M Alliance partners and ZIM have formally finalised the related documents in connection with their continued collaboration.
Although the agreement is still subject to regulatory approval, ZIM and the 2M alliance companies, Maersk and MSC, will operate their joint services on the Asia – US East Coast (USEC) and Asia – US Gulf Coast (USGC) trades based on a slot exchange and vessel sharing agreement.
Accordingly, ZIM will now solely operate two out of the six joint Asia to USEC services (ZCP & ZSE) as well as three additional vessels on one of two joint Asia to USGC services (ZGX).
