ZIM (ZIM Integrated Shipping Services) has announced the launch of a new and fast service for e-commerce customers called ZIM Ecommerce Baltimore Express (ZXB). The ZXB service will take effect from March, connecting China and Vietnam to the US East Coast.

ZXB service will have the following route:

ZXB will be operated exclusively by ZIM shipping line. This service will start with a fortnightly frequency and increase to weekly over several months. The exact train schedule will be announced in the coming days.

ZIM says the ZXB service will offer customers many advantages including "fastest transit time to Baltimore; guaranteed space and equipment without rolling; late cutoff from Asia ports; dedicated out-of-gate lane to avoid queues in Baltimore; and expedited rail/air/road connections to inland destinations. All wrapped with ZIM’s unique “A2Z” customer centric customer service offering".

"This new service is one of the offerings of 'ZIM eCommerce eXpress', which we launched in 2020 with the first service from South China to Los Angeles and growing to become the into a network of multiple services, with the addition of the new ZXB service.” said Eli Glickman.
