The money from the donated artworks will go to "Room to Read" Over 150,000 HKD were raised in an auction, held during the Container Artist Residency project art exhibition in Hong Kong. The exhibition, titled Creative Operational Solution, featured works created by artists sailing on board ZIM ships. Over 100 ZIM customers attended the cocktail and live auction on March 6 in Hong Kong. 3 impressive art pieces were sold to the highest bidders in a very dynamic auction led by auctioneer Mr. Brian Hodgson.

Rooms to Read founder, John Wood, attended the event and addressed ZIM's guest: "Room to Read was thrilled to be chosen by ZIM as the beneficiary charity for their auction. Thanks to the generosity of ZIM and their clients, Room to Read will be able to help almost 400 children to learn to read and write through our Literacy Program."
