By Roger Johnston, CEO, Pilbara Ports Authority
At a time when other industries are scaling back due to COVID-19, the ports of the Pilbara have reached new heights, setting a new world record for throughput by a bulk export port authority. In the 2020/21 financial year, Pilbara Ports Authority (PPA) recorded a total annual throughput of 724.7 million tonnes.
Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic has added a layer of complexity to port operations, but PPA remains focused on maintaining safe, round-the-clock operations, while keeping COVID-19 out of the ports and the communities where we operate.
In fact, since the outbreak of the pandemic, there has been no case of community transmission of the virus through PPA’s ports.
