航運業(yè)積極應對新型冠狀病毒疫情的倡議書
Petition to Combat the COVID-19

2020年初，突如其來的新型冠狀病毒疫情在中國蔓延開來，并擴散至全球多個國家，引起全球貿(mào)易、航運界的廣泛關注。中國政府迅速采取嚴格措施，積極防控疫情，確保人民生命健康和經(jīng)濟活動有序進行。1月30日，中國交通運輸部發(fā)布緊急通知，要求港口企業(yè)科學合理安排生產(chǎn)作業(yè)，嚴禁以疫情防控為名隨意采取禁限貨運船舶靠港作業(yè)、錨地隔離14天等措施。與此同時，部分港口國也相應提高檢驗檢疫的要求，防止疫情擴散和傳播。此前，有傳聞稱美國對于最近15天內(nèi)掛靠過中國港口且船上沒有疑似新型冠狀肺炎感染病例的船舶將等到第16天才予以進港。類似消息引起了很多小型船公司、貨主、貨代的擔憂和恐慌，更有不少人無法判斷此類消息的真實性。事實上，目前美國并沒有出現(xiàn)拒收來自中國的貨物。基于此，航運界網(wǎng)聯(lián)合紐約航運交易所、中遠海運集裝箱運輸有限公司、中外運集裝箱運輸有限公司、達飛輪船中國、廣州港集團、環(huán)世物流集團、全球捷運物流集團、中創(chuàng)物流股份有限公司、山東日日順國際供應鏈管理有限公司、涅浦頓供應鏈科技（上海）股份有限公司、天津榮易達信息技術有限公司、新運集團、天津嘉合運通國際物流有限公司、偉航集運（深圳）有限公司、利通物流集團、浙江外代國際物流有限公司、邊行中國有限公司、利豐供應鏈管理（中國）有限公司、順圓弘通物流集團有限公司、南京瓏欣達國際貨運代理有限公司、寧波大掌柜物流服務有限公司共同發(fā)起如下倡議：
Earlier this year, the sudden outbreak of COVID-19 occurred in China and extended to several other countries in the world, which arouses attention of international trade and shipping communities. The Chinese government has been taking rigorous prevention and control measures to ensure people’s safety and health as well as the smooth development of economic activities. On January 31, The Ministry of Transport of the People’s Republic of China released an emergency notice that port enterprises should take scientific and rational steps to arrange production and operations. It is strictly prohibited to prevent cargo ships from berthing or keep them in anchorage for 14 days in the name of epidemic control. Meanwhile, Some Port of States have also raised requirements for inspection and quarantine to prevent the spread of the epidemic. However, it has been rumored that vessels which have been to China in the last 15 days would be denied to offload cargo, even if there is no suspected cases and sick crew onboard. Similar news worried many small shipping companies, shippers and freight forwarders. Some people are in a panic and cannot judge the truth. In fact, the United States is not rejecting shipments from China. Beyond Shipping and New York Shipping Exchange, COSCO SHIPPING Lines, Sinotrans Container Lines, CMA CGM(China), Guangzhou Port Group,Worldex Group, Worldwide Logistics Group, CHINA MASTER LOGISTICS CO.,LTD.，SHANDONG RIRISHUN INTERNATIONAL SUPPLY CHAIN CO.,LTD.，Neptune Supply Chain Technology Limited, EZ SHIPPING, SYNTRANS GROUP, JIAHE LOGISTICS CO., LTD, CASA CHINA LIMITED, UBI LOGISTICS GROUP, ZheJiang Penavico International Logistics Co.,Ltd., BEN LINE AGENCIES CHINA,LF Logistics (China) Co., Ltd. , SAFROUND LOGISTICS GROUP, NANJING NORTH STAR INTERNATIONAL FREIGHT FORWARDER CO LTD, China CargoGM Logistics Service Co., Ltd.，are to co-sponsor the following：

1. 請貨主、貨代不要拒收來自中國的貨物。
Shippers and freight forwarders shall not reject goods from China.

根據(jù)世界衛(wèi)生組織及美國免疫和呼吸系統(tǒng)疾病中心的公告，由于新型冠狀病毒在物體表面的生存能力差，通過在環(huán)境溫度下運輸數(shù)天或數(shù)周的產(chǎn)品或包裝傳播病毒的風險非常低，因此，由中國出境的貨物不會攜帶病毒，請貨主和貨代不要拒收中國的貨物。
According to the statement from World Health Organization and National Center for Humanization and Respiratory Diseases of United States, coronaviruses do not survive long on objects. The risk of spreading virus by products or packages which have been travelled at seas for several days is very low. Therefore, goods exporting from China could not carry virus. It suggests that shippers and freight forwarders shall not reject goods from China.
 

2. 請貨主、貨代不要過分擔心船公司員工和船員的健康問題。
Shippers and freight forwarders shall not worry too much about the health of shipping companies’ employees and crews.

當前，多家船公司已向中國員工下發(fā)健康安全指南和防疫用品，告知其務必采取預防措施。船公司建立員工應急報告系統(tǒng)，盡最大努力保證員工的安全健康，同時不允許任何生病的船員在船上。因此，貨主和貨代無需過分擔心船公司員工和船員的健康問題。貨物更不會受到影響。
Many shipping companies have issued health and safety guidelines and epidemic prevention supplies to Chinese employees, informing them to take necessary precautionary measures. Shipping companies have also established emergency report system to make every effort to ensure the safety and health of employees, while not allowing any sick crews on board. Shippers and freight forwarders do not need to worry too much about the health of employees and crews. Otherwise,  goods will not be affected either.

3. 請貨主、貨代切勿輕信謠言而做出過度反應。
Please do not believe rumors and overreact.

船公司正在一如既往在開展海上貨物運輸業(yè)務。如有因抗擊疫情需要，做出運營調(diào)整，相信船公司定會及時通知貨主、貨代，請貨主、貨代切勿輕信謠言而做出過度反應。
Shipping companies continue to operate uninterrupted as per usual. If there is any operational adjustments for the sake of epidemic control, It’s believed that shipping companies will notify shippers and freight forwarder timely. Please do not believe rumors and overreact.
