ZIM Container Tracking: Shipment Status
Use ZIM’s official Track a Shipment tool to check your shipment, then read each event with its location and date type. CargoFlowPlus provides a separate workspace for monitoring your references.
- Search up to 10 references
- Check the event location
- Confirm requirements before acting
Check with ZIM
Open ZIM Track a ShipmentExternal carrier website. CargoFlowPlus tracking starts separately inside your account.
Enter up to 10 references
ZIM’s Track a Shipment tool accepts B/L, booking or container numbers, up to 10 at a time separated by a comma, space or new line. Check each result against your own documents.
Read ZIM’s data notice
ZIM states that its tracking information draws on several data sources, including third parties, so it may differ from real-time events. Confirm critical dates with ZIM, the terminal or your agent before acting on them.
Read each leg separately
An arrival or discharge at a transshipment port is not the same as arrival at the final destination. Compare the event port, vessel and voyage before you use a date to book onward transport.
Confirm collection conditions
A discharge event from ZIM does not confirm customs clearance, cargo release or terminal pickup availability. Check those with the carrier, terminal or your agent before arranging collection.
How CargoFlowPlus handles it
- Check the carrier result: Use the official ZIM lookup and confirm that the returned journey matches your shipment.
- Test your CargoFlowPlus reference: Choose ZIM and the available reference type in your account. Confirm the request there to start tracking; coverage varies by reference and route.
- Review updates in context: Read reported milestones and carrier ETA alongside your other shipments. Confirm collection conditions with the responsible parties.
Is this the official ZIM tracking website?
No. This is a CargoFlowPlus guide linking to ZIM’s own service. The two services have separate access and tracking workflows.
Will both services show exactly the same information?
Not necessarily. Field availability and update timing can differ. Test your own references and use the carrier or terminal for release and collection confirmation.
