I completed the reshuffling of my portfolio selling all TEVA and buying Israel Corp. This holding company owns 98% of Zim Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (“Zim”), the 16th largest container shipping company in the world. Zim operates a large fleet that offers a variety of global services and close to 40 regional services, reaching every continent and calling on hundreds of ports worldwide. Zim has a recognized reputation for providing fast, reliable and competitive door-to-door global services based on its integrated sea and land transportation system. Through a network of global subsidiaries and affiliated companies in Israel and abroad, Zim is engaged in a wide range of activities. This network includes shipping agencies acting as the Company’s general agents, while the subsidiaries offer various transport-related services such as logistics, freight-forwarding, land transport, river transport and more.
