APM Terminals Barcelona maintains normal operations despite the Covid-19 crisis

The terminal is at optimum levels of productivity

APM Terminals Barcelona is maintaining continuity in its operations in a standardised way and with no delays in any of the areas involved in its activity. It is operating without incident despite the safety measures implemented and the restrictions imposed by the authorities to stop the spread of the virus. Last week the terminal reached optimum productivity levels with a stable occupancy capacity allowing it to cope with the current situation. Terminal value-added services such as repairs, weighing, etc. are ongoing without delays despite a significant increase in demand.

The logistics sector is showing an enormous capacity to minimise the negative effects of the crisis caused by Covid-19, guaranteeing supplies for industries and consumption. APM Terminals Barcelona has put a coronavirus action protocol in place to guarantee the safety of its employees, while at the same time ensuring that it continues to offer a quality service to its customers. The terminal has made this statement “At the moment, thanks to the cooperation of the entire team, we are able to carry out all of our operations without incident. Fortunately, none of our staff are ill from Covid-19 and we are all continuing to do our work. In our commitment to the logistics chain and the port community we will continue to put all our efforts into the correct performance of our activity.”

The considerable investment made by APM Terminals Barcelona in 2019 is helping the company to maintain high productivity and to face these hardest of times. Last year, the company invested € 47 million to acquire new machines, connections and other improvements to the terminal, which has strengthened the company as a benchmark in the maritime business.
