Major Update! ZIM ZMP Route Significantly Adjusted
2026-06-29

ZIM Integrated Shipping Services has revised its Mediterranean–Far East ZMP service by introducing a direct port call at Tianjin and removing Busan from the vessel’s primary rotation, as reported by industry sources.


Under the updated network configuration, Busan will be served exclusively via transshipment through Ningbo, while Tianjin becomes the northernmost port of call on the ZMP service.

The revised ZMP rotation is as follows: Tianjin → Qingdao → Shanghai → Ningbo → Shenzhen (Da Chan) → Ho Chi Minh City (Cai Mep) → Valencia → Barcelona → Genoa → Ashdod → Haifa → Shenzhen (Da Chan) → Tianjin.

These adjustments enhance ZIM’s direct port coverage in Northern China and preserve end-to-end connectivity to Busan through an integrated transshipment hub at Ningbo.
