Twelve shipping lines operate from Israel. "ZIM" the largest shipping company controls seventy percent of the vessels and employees. Old methods of loading and unloading have given way to container ships with open hatches through which entire trucks may enter. This speedy procedure has enabled long distance shipping with faster turns-around.
