Israeli container line Zim is upgrading its Asia to Pacific north-west network.

It is adding a second string in April, subject to US regulatory approval.

The new service will be named Zim Pacific North (ZPN).

Rotation is Hong Kong – Yantian – Kaohsiung – Shanghai - Pusan – Tacoma - Vancouver – Pusan – Kwangyang – Kaohsiung - Hong Kong.

Both loops are fully operated by Zim ships.
