ISRAELI container shipping line Zim is continuing to
offer Far East-North Europe services, albeit a reduced number of sailings,
despite its announced "withdrawal" from the trade in April, and as
spot rates fall.
Following the closure in May of the weekly Far
East-Europe service, which it jointly operated with CSCL (AEX-1), it is still
offering monthly ad hoc sailings.
Zim operates these sailings with ships ranging in size
from 4,600 to 10,000 TEU.
Zim's ad hoc Far East-Europe sailings continue to be
advertised even as Asia-Europe rates decline. The SCFI spot rate from Shanghai
to North Europe decreased to $908/TEU as at September 19, the first time it
dropped below the key $1,000/TEU rate since March, reported Alphaliner.
Rates as low as $650/TEU are currently offered, just
ahead of the October Golden Week holidays in China, with rate weakness expected
to persist until the end of the year.
