service between the Far East
and Savannah.
Presently Zim operates 154
ships; 135 general cargo vessels,
9 bulk carriers and 10 tankers
with total tonnage of 1,700,000.
The Zim Container Services
v.il! make stops at Tokyo, Yoko
hama, Hong Kong, Singapore,
Osaka, Nagoya, Kaoshiung, In
chon, Pusan and Taiwan. Serv
ices for European and Medi
terranean ports are planned for
the future.
Moshe Gilboa, Consul General
for the Southeast, who hosted
a luncheon to mark the occasion,
remarked, “Not since the time
of King Solomon did Israel
command a merchant marine.
The Israelis were busy produc
ing the Bible—the ethical prin
ciples of the civilized world—
while others manned the mer
chant ships.”
The luncheon was attended by
a number of companies interest
ed in the shipping services from
Savannah to the Far East as
well as officials from the Geor
Lsrael Consul General Moshe Gilboa, second from left, hosted a
luncheon to celebrate the new shipping service. With him are
Fred Whelan, director of Trade Development, Georgia Ports Au
thority; Jeffrey M. Driesen Sr., vice president of Zim Container

The success of the Zim Con
tainer Service, according to its
executive vice president Jeffrey
Driesen who attended the lunch
eon, is predicated on research
and the huge investment which
is projected to reach some
$400,000,000. Zim Conta i n e r
Service will offer innovation to
its clients, designed for conven
ience and money saving, it was
emphasized.
As one example, oranges
from Florida will now be shipp
ed from Savannah directly to
the Far East instead of as prev
iously, overland to California
for shipment by sea. .
Mr. Driesen of New York is
in charge of getting the service
under way from Georgia. In
Savannah the representative for
the Zim Container Service is
Southern Shipping Service.
Fred Whelan, director of trade
development, Georgia Ports Au
thority, reported the following
details about the news service.
This started with the first
vessel in Savannah on May 27
with a fortnightly service on
two vessels, the “Zim New
York" and the "Zim Tokyo.”
Initially it will be an inbound
service to Savannah of 24 days
from the Orient.
Later this year an additional
two new ships will he added to
the service with a then 18-day
service inbound and outbound
between Savannah and the Ori
ent. ,
An additional two vessels
(total of (!) should be in serv
ice by the end of this year and
at that time they plan to add
Mediterranean service at Sa
vannah.
This will be an all 40-feet
service and they intend to pro
vide refrigerated boxes. Con
tainers can be positioned or
stuffed at port. They will also
