As the UK Governments restrictions on movement and social distancing measures continue so does ABP’s focus on health and safety procedures at our Ports. We have made exhaustive efforts to ensure that appropriate PPE is available at all our locations and want to thank our partners and suppliers for their support in helping us in these endeavours. Additional safeguards and inspections continue across our Ports and we would also like to thank our valued customers, contractors and customer’s representatives for their continued co-operation and patience whilst these are performed.
