Whilst the situation remains fast moving and can change again rapidly in our key markets, it is encouraging that infection rates have continued to fall in several locations within Swire Shipping’s network. This will lead to a reduction in the severity of some lockdown measures in force and the resumption of economic activity in the near term. Whilst this is positive, we expect economic activity to be reduced in many parts of the network in the medium term. Importantly, Papua New Guinea has removed its quarantine restrictions for arriving cargo vessels, leading to the reinstatement of pre-COVID-19 service levels. Despite this positive development, several quarantine measures remain in effect which continue to disrupt our network.
