ZIM Agency in Cyprus
Official representative of ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd in Cyprus — bookings, rates, equipment and documentation, from a local desk.
The line's desk in Limassol
Shoham is the representative of ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd in Cyprus. ZIM offers containerised export and import services to and from Limassol and Europe, Israel, the USA and other countries, and we can offer competitive freights — spot rates for one-off shipments, contract terms where there is regular volume.
Being the line's agency means the whole carrier relationship lives here: bookings and space, equipment release, bills of lading and documentation, arrival notices and delivery orders on the import side. When a shipment needs a person rather than a portal — a rollover, a box gone quiet at a hub, special equipment against a deadline — the person is in Limassol and answers to the name on this page.
ZIM itself remains at the forefront of the carrier industry, adapting to commercial developments and emerging markets, and is represented worldwide by approximately 180 agents. In Cyprus, that network starts at our desk.

Frequently asked questions
Who do I contact to book a ZIM shipment from Cyprus?
Us. Shoham is ZIM's representative in Cyprus, so bookings, rates, equipment and documentation for ZIM cargo through Limassol run through this office. You deal with a local desk in the same time zone as your cargo, backed by the line's global network of around 180 agents.
Which routes does ZIM serve from Limassol?
Containerised export and import services connect Limassol with Europe, Israel, the USA and, through ZIM's transhipment network, ports across some 80 countries. The weekly sailing schedule on this site is the practical reference — it shows what is actually departing, rather than a route map's promise.
How do I get a ZIM freight rate?
Ask the marketing and sales desk here, through the quote page or directly. Spot rates for one-off shipments, and service contracts where there is regular volume — a shipper moving containers every month should be on contract terms, and as the line's agency we can set that up locally.
How do I track a ZIM container?
Through the container tracking page, by container number or bill of lading, against ZIM's own system. The agency advantage shows when tracking is not enough: if a box goes quiet at a transhipment hub, we chase it through the line's network rather than watching the same screen you do.
What equipment is available?
Standard 20ft and 40ft boxes, high cubes, reefers for temperature-controlled cargo, open tops and flat racks for awkward loads — detailed on the container types page. Equipment availability in Cyprus is part of what a local line agency manages, so if a booking needs special equipment, say so early.
Can Shoham also handle the customs side of a ZIM shipment?
Yes — Shoham is a customs clearing agent and freight forwarder as well as the line's representative, so a ZIM import can arrive, clear and deliver on one file. That combination — carrier agency, forwarding and clearance under one roof — is the practical reason to book the whole journey here rather than assembling it from three suppliers.
Book with the line's agent
Commodity, equipment, origin and destination — and whether the volume repeats. The sea freight desk and the customs desk sit in the same office, so the booking, the clearance and the delivery can run as one file.
