Harnessing the Environment of Maritime Transport and Port Logistics Sector in the Management of Covid-19 Pandemic
The outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic led to huge loss of human and material Capital and adversely affected the economies of nations. The fight against the spread has been serious and strategically coordinated and implemented across major Countries; but exposure to its spread has continued to raise fears about the possibility of achieving total eradication. Public health experts opine that the disease may not totally go away soon, and as such, society should learn to live with it as the new normal. The study thus evaluated the influence of harnessing the built environment of maritime transport and logistics sector in the management of exposure to spread of the disease. It identified the various components of the built environment types in the maritime transport sub-sector that represent potential nodes of maritime workers exposure to the spread of Covid-19 as well as the Covid-19 infective pathways in the maritime sub-sector and analyzed the risk of exposure each infective pathway and node poses to the exposure to Covid-19 spread. It also identified and analyzed the risk management approaches to be employed in limiting exposure to the disease in the maritime and port logistics sector in Nigeria.
