The Secretary-General is aware that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has created issues related to the shipboard interface between ship and shore-based personnel during port calls. Shipping is vital to the maintenance of global supply chains and it is vital that all parties in the ship/shore interface should keep everyone as safe as possible at all times and not place anyone, regardless of whether they are ship personnel or shore-based workers temporarily coming onboard, at undue risk.
