With the shipping industry transporting over 80 per cent of world trade, seafarers have continued to demonstrate great professionalism and dedication during the COVID-19 pandemic, playing a vital role in delivering food, medicines, fuel, and other essential goods, and helping to keep supply chains active and global commerce running.

Key shipping stakeholders, including international bodies, governments, and industry, have issued several recommendations and guidance[i] aimed at ensuring, first, that seafarers are protected from COVID-19, are medically fit and have access to medical care; and that ships and port facilities met international sanitary requirements, while securing the flow of goods across global supply chains.
