Port of Dover - KEEPING THE NATION SUPPLIED

We are all being challenged by the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), but we know it is essential that we stay open for business - people in the UK are counting on us continuing to deliver the goods so that supermarket shelves are filled and essential goods are available to everyone.

As the people tasked with keeping trade flowing, we have planned across the business to ensure that we can look after our customers, the nation and its trade. Our employees, business partners and local agencies all have high attention on keeping themselves safe while providing this crucial lifeline link. Working with all our customers, together with our key business partners, contractors, our suppliers, and following the advice of the Government and Public Health England, we aim to ensure that, whatever the challenges we face, we can remain open for business and maintain the flow of goods that will keep communities and businesses in all four corners of Great Britain supplied at this critical time.

Practical measures we have already put in place to maintain core services include:

• Implementation of our business continuity plans
• Enhanced cleaning regimes
• Continued distribution and display of government health advice
• Monitoring and liaison with ferry and shipping lines in case of suspected cases
• Dedicated isolation rooms if required to look after suspected cases and protect others
• Changes to working arrangements such as working from home for non-operational staff where possible and other practical measures for those required on-site to protect personnel
