Bahrain's Khalifa Bin Salman Port (KBSP) continues to be open for business despite the global supply chain being negatively impacted due to Covid-19 outbreak, Transportation and Telecommunications Minister Kamal Ahmed said recently at a live webinar.

Hosted by APM Terminals (APMT), the virtual gathering included GCC and international experts from various sectors, the Economic Development Board (EDB), the Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) and Bahrain Shipping Agents Association.

The session was opened by HE the Minister, and examined how Bahrain has successfully maintained a resilient supply chain throughout the coronavirus outbreak and the massive disruptions caused around the world.

“The co-ordination committee, chaired by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince, Deputy Supreme Commander, First Deputy Prime Minister and the Government of Bahrain has implemented a comprehensive and effective plan in combating COVID 19, the evidence of which is the business continuity that we have witnessed across most industries.  By remaining operational, we have worked to protect the business community while ensuring top safety standards,” Kamal Ahmed said. “Although the global supply chain is indeed negatively impacted, Khalifa Bin Salman Port has been and continues to be open for business,” he added.
