ABS and the CDC Discuss Impacts of COVID-19 in the Maritime Industry

Duration: 30 min

Original Airdate: August 19, 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic presents unprecedented uncertainty and introduces new challenges for maintaining safe marine and offshore assets and operations. Preventing exposure and mitigating the impacts after exposure are two critical areas for owners and operators to understand and consider in developing operational and contingency plans.

In this webinar, ABS and CDC leaders will discuss recommended control measures and how they can be practically applied onboard a vessel or offshore asset.

  • How can I prevent the introduction of COVID-19 into the worksite?
  • What should I be considering for onboard isolation and quarantine?
  • How do you decontaminate your vessel should a crew member be diagnosed with COVID-19?
  • How do I update operational procedures to best prevent and mitigate COVID-19 exposure?

Join Dr. Laura Syron, Epidemiologist for the U.S. CDC’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, and Dr. Gareth Burton, Vice President of Technology for ABS, as they answer these questions and more.
