UPDATE

27 March 2020

 

Budd Tunisia reports that Tunisian stevedoring companies have
introduced a new requirement for vessels berthing in Tunisian ports.

 

Before commercial operations, professional disinfection is
required for all vessel surfaces which stevedores are likely to touch, e.g.
hatch covers, gangways, ramps, external container walls, doors etc.

 

The stevedores have threatened to refuse to intervene on
vessels which do not meet this requirement.

Tunisia advises that the government has closed all air, sea and
land borders with a view to containing the COVID-19 outbreak.

 

All
ports remain open to cargo vessels but they are closed to passenger
vessels. 

 

Confinement
measures have also been introduced with the result that our
colleagues in Tunisia are now working from home.

 

Travel
from one town to another is only authorised in case of emergency.
