"Huge" news if you are shipping to Europe or use a Mediterranean shipping company
Dear Valued ETC International Shipping Customers:
Zim made us aware most recently of the teaming with Hapag Llyod and I quote from Zim Lines: "This is HUGE news for not only us (at ZIM) – but we hope, for all of you as well!!! As many of you are aware – ZIM has faced some radical changes (of late) and, has made some decisions that we hoped would be for the best……. This “teaming” with Hapag will once again allow us to help our customers (especially those of you on the West Coast) shipping to Europe and the Mediterranean! While this will not be for awhile longer…..we wanted to make you aware of it and look forward to your support in the coming weeks"!
May 9 2014
