🔥Greetings, Maritime Mavericks!

ZIM is once again in the spotlight.

But this time, it’s not about freight rates, alliances, or new ships. It’s about who will own the company’s future.

CEO Eli Glickman and shipping tycoon Rami Ungar want to buy ZIM and take it private. Alongside five senior executives, they are preparing a deal. But there is one problem: their rumored offer — around $20 per share — doesn’t satisfy the board.

ZIM is sitting on $2.8–2.9 billion in cash, equal to almost $24 per share. The board believes selling below that level undervalues the company. So instead of rushing into talks, they brought in Wall Street giant Evercore to explore other buyers.
