About ZIM Schedules
Globy ZIM sailing schedule allows you to find ZIM departures by choosing the ports your shipment will depart from and arrive to. In order to obtain available sailings information, enter the origin port, destination port & preferred departure date.
• When multiple results are available, check what date the ships are planned to leave and arrive. It helps you find a sailing that is more suitable for the arrival and departure window of your cargo.
Top information to examine a planned sailing is contained in the ZIM vessel schedule. You can verify the ship's name, ports of departure or arrival, scheduled date and estimated transit time based on the available data.
This information comes in handy when looking at more than one ZIM sailing. Just looking at a departure date doesn't tell the full story, however — checking the expected arrival date and estimated transit time can actually let you see clearer among all available options.
The schedule information is the planned movement of vessels and may not be detail accurate. Verify the dates with the carrier before planning and placing the actual booking.
With the help of the ZIM schedule, create a timeline for your shipment according to available departures. Use the schedule to plan for departure, expected arrival, vessel or voyage details and estimated transit time.
