Covid-19 forcing changes at ports

The deadly spread of Covid-19, and the economic and trade disruption the pandemic has caused, is prompting port managers to examine new ways to improve risk management and digital processes, according to the latest biennial global ports survey conducted by Remy InfoSource. The 2020 iSpec Ports Industry Survey revealed that more than half (51 per cent) of port executive respondents now identify risk management as the key area they would like to improve on in the future, up from 32 per cent in the previous iteration of the iSpec Ports Industry Survey in 2018.
