ZIM to implement GRI in Asia and Indian subcontinent westbound trade

ZIM has announced a General Rate Increase (GRI) of $750 per TEU will be implemented as of 1 March 2012.

The GRI applies to all westbound cargo from Asia and Indian sub-continent to North Europe, West/East Mediterranean (including Israel) and Black-sea region.

“This update is necessary in order to maintain our current levels of service and high reliability,” ZIM added.

 The moves hot on the heels of ZIM implementing a General Rate Increase (GRI) of $ 200 per TEU from February 1 on the Indian sub-continent westbound to North/ South Europe, Mediterranean and Black Sea region trade.
