Port of Casablanca has Reopened

We are pleased to advise that the port of Casablanca has reoponed.

For safety reasons, all vessel movements were suspended last week after 85 containers on a vessel bound for Barcelona fell overboard in the port entrance on Wednesday night.

COVID-19: Lockdown in Liberia

On 10 April, the Government of
Liberia declared a 21-day state of emergency in four counties (Montserrado,
Nimba, Grand Kru and Margibi) and put the rest of the country into a 14-day
quarantine.

Only a very few essential
businesses and government offices are allowed to remain open on condition that
they close at 15:00 at the latest.  This
measure also applies to the port of Monrovia.

Budd Liberia confirms that
commercial operations involving all types of bulk cargo are continuing to take
place.

Citizens have been told to
stay at home for the next three weeks and only one person per household can go
out on a trip of no more than one hour to buy food or for emergencies.
  In the light of these restrictions, Budd’s
local staff are working from home.
