ABS, the multinational management consulting company, has partnered with public health officials and launched a comprehensive guidance on sanitising and decontaminating to maintain the safety of vessels and offshore assets potentially exposed to Covid-19.
The best practices document answers practical and urgent questions including how to prevent an asset from getting contaminated, how to maintain it in a sanitised state, how to decontaminate an asset when there is an onboard Covid-19 case, and considerations for the choice, use and disposal of cleaning and disinfecting products.
ABS Chairman president and chief executive officer Christopher J. Wiernicki said: “Marine and offshore operators face the same challenge globally today.
“Determining how to protect crews while continuing operations in complex environments with unique requirements, where decontamination is considerably more challenging than for assets on land.”
