ZIM shipping line begin new China – Australia service

Container space availability leading into Christmas
An early reminder to our valued customers this year, for any orders required to arrive before Christmas we suggest bookings are placed in early November.
Available space on vessels over the last few months has been the tightest seen in years, and we only expect this to get worse during November as importers Australia wide prepare for Christmas

ICAL will be operating over the Christmas period as usual, only closing for the public holidays. If you need any short term storage over the Christmas period, please feel free to reach out.
