Have you read about it? I’m already starting to worry about global logistics, haha. If Ray Shipping buys Zim, do you think anything will change? Will there be new routes or tariffs? Will there be competition with Maersk or MSC? Or will it have no serious impact?

Hello! I think the impact will definitely be noticeable. My colleagues and I were discussing today how Zim has a strong position on routes between Asia and the Mediterranean, while Ray Shipping has a strong position in the car transport market. By combining these strengths, they can create a powerful network. The blog Gettransport wrote about the Zim buy out https://blog.gettransport.com/news/zim-ray-shipping-merger-rumors-market-analysis/ and noted that the merger could affect tariffs, perhaps offering more service options. I also read that customers will benefit from these changes with more routes, transparent pricing, and convenient services. If this is the case, it will be a step forward for logistics.
