Ports Australia has launched its world first Port Sustainability Strategy Development Guide.
"We are in the dark on what living with COVID-19 will look like for the supply chain industry and we need government direction now before the small outbreaks occurring at port terminals become far more common and devastating for the Australian people and economy."
With employees at DP World’s and Hutchison Ports’ Port Botany terminals and Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT) in Melbourne testing positive to COVID-19 and other workers sent into quarantine, the need for greater government engagement with industry before lockdowns begin lifting is clearer than ever.
Ports Australia is Australia’s peak body representing our ports community at the national level.
