The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges to the world and to the port and maritime industry. Essential to maintaining global trade, ports play an important role in keeping supply chains open and allowing maritime trade to flow, especially since the beginning of the pandemic. Aware of its role in the local community, the Port of Acu set up a crisis management team at the top management level to direct actions to raise awareness and fight COVID-19 and to maintain the safety and continuity of its operations and the whole port community. With the port community working in an integrated manner, different fronts of action were set up to ensure proper allocation of efforts and results: support to vulnerable population, social engagement, support to healthcare and essential service workers, investments on technology and testing, safety of their people, and operational continuity. On national and international levels, Port of Acu collaborated with port sector to promote knowledge and best practices exchange. |
