In a statement, Eli Glickman, President and Chief Executive Officer, ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd., reflected on his nine-year tenure, describing a period of “astounding turnaround” for the carrier and crediting employees across the organisation for its transformation.

“When I joined ZIM nine years ago, I did so after deep deliberation, but with absolute clarity of purpose. I believed in this company, I believed in its people, and I believed that with the right strategy, discipline, and courage, we could transform ZIM into a stronger, more innovative, and more resilient global player. Together, we did exactly that.”

The Board has confirmed it will begin the process of appointing a successor in the coming weeks.

In February, Hapag-Lloyd and ZIM Integrated Shipping Services signed a definitive merger agreement that can reshape the global container shipping landscape.
