The IAPH-WPSP survey on the impact of COVID-19 is conducted on a weekly basis with the aim of monitoring the current situation in world ports and trends compared to previous weeks. The first survey results were collected in week 15 of 2020, with the contribution of 67 ports from all over the globe. This week’s results deal with the situation in week 8. A total of 76 valid answers were received with Europe continuing to be the leading region with 38% of the total. No less than 20 ports from Central and South America completed the survey (26% of all respondents), which shows a strong upward trend compared to 17% last week, 14% in week 16 and only 9% in week 15. North America is also better represented in the sample, partly due to an increased participation from Canadian ports. Africa and the Asian regions remain somewhat underrepresented.
