Braving the sea in pandemic times

Navigating through the pandemic landscape has not been easy. Heightened measures and travel restrictions have implicated the maritime industry, resulting in lengthier tours and difficulties in relieving people on time. In a recent interview, our people tell the story of what it is like to brave the seas during these challenging times, and spoke of the importance of mental resilience to cope with the resurgence of the COVID-19 outbreak. At Brunei Gas Carriers (BGC), the safety and wellbeing of our seafarers will always be our top priority. Through the establishment of our COVID-19 task force, we ensure that all standard operating procedures (SOPs) align with the latest guidelines provided by the Ministry of Health (MoH), Ministry of Energy (ME), Maritime and Port Authority of Brunei Darussalam (MPABD) as well as the country requirements of the ports that the vessels frequent internationally. As Brunei Darussalam gradually enters the endemic phase, we expect to see the easing of measures and travel restrictions to allow for timely repatriation. Nevertheless, we will continue to remain vigilant by upholding our safety measures and heeding the authorities to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our people. Stay calm, stay strong, and stay safe.
