In line with the general trend in the shipping industry, ZIM has posted what the line’s president and CEO Eli Glickman describes as ‘exceptional’ results for the third quarter.
They represent a new all-time record for the line, according to a recently released statement. Glickman expects Q4 results to be at least as high.
“While market conditions were favourable in some trades, we are still facing the challenges of the pandemic, and market volatility remains high,” he said.
“Following the successful launch of new specialised services for the fast-growing e-commerce sector, we further expanded our reach and our offer to customers. During the quarter we announced several new initiatives aimed at harnessing our technological and innovative expertise to shipping-related fields.”
