Track a ZIM container or shipment
Enter your ZIM container number or bill of lading to find the right tracker, plus see what logee catches automatically that a one-off lookup won't.
ZIM numbers typically start with ZIMU. logee recognises the prefix, then routes you to ZIM's own tracker for the live status.

A carrier tracker shows you where the container is right now. It won't tell you if that's a problem, or what to do about it.
Bill of lading still missing. The vessel arrives in 3 days and the B/L isn't on file yet. logee flags it now and can draft the chaser to your forwarder, so it isn't discovered at the port.
Why pair ZIM with an AI TMS
Because ZIM leans on chartered tonnage and slot-sharing deals with carriers like COSCO rather than owning every vessel it books cargo onto, a ZIM booking number doesn't always tell you which carrier's ship is actually moving your container. logee tracks the shipment end to end regardless of which vessel is physically carrying it, so a slot-share arrangement doesn't cost you visibility, or a missed deadline on your watch list.
ZIM at a glance
ZIM leans on chartered tonnage and slot-sharing deals with larger carriers on several major trades, so a ZIM booking number doesn't always mean a ZIM-owned vessel is carrying it.
ZIM container numbers start with ZIMU. Because ZIM charters much of its capacity rather than owning it outright, transit times can vary more between sailings than with asset-heavy carriers, so comparing against a single expected number is less reliable. Tracking the shipment itself through an AI TMS, rather than one carrier's schedule promise, is the steadier approach on ZIM-heavy lanes.
