As the world’s leading classification society, ABS has been setting maritime and offshore standards for almost 160 years. These standards promote the security of life and property, and preservation of the natural environment.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is being felt across all sectors of shipping and offshore, including stakeholders’ supply chains. As carriers of 90% of world trade volumes, the fortunes of the commercial shipping sector and its supply chain are directly tied to those of the global economy.
With all maritime and offshore parties affected by the outbreak of the virus, it is important that industry works to achieve standards of cleanliness and contamination response to improve health and safety of personnel while maintaining continuity of operations. This will require that best practices for disease prevention and mitigation are understood and implemented.
