Ports face Covid-19 stress


Westports Holdings Bhd group managing director Datuk Ruben Emir Gnanalingam told StarBiz that the impact from the Covid-19 outbreak in China was minimal for now.

PETALING JAYA: Ports and logistics companies in Malaysia will feel the impact of the Covid-19 coronavirus should the effects of quarantine measures by China’s government prolong longer than expected.

According to industry analysts and operators, the main factor would be how long the quarantine efforts to combat the outbreak would last, as that would disrupt the ability of workers and operations of companies.
