PD Ports, owner and operator of Teesport, has been awarded an international standard demonstrating the resilience of the business despite the challenges of the last 24 months.

The International Standard for Business Continuity Management recognises business that can demonstrate the ability to mitigate damage and continue operating even in the event of any potential disruption or emergency situations.

As the Statutory Harbour Authority for the River Tees and operator of the fifth largest port in the UK, the port operator has placed a renewed importance on business resilience in recent months which has allowed the Company to successfully and seamlessly continue operating following BREXIT and the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.

Frans Calje, PD Ports CEO, said: “At PD Ports, we are committed to protecting our people, our customers and all those associated with our business.

“As we are also the legal guardians of the River Tees, responsible for safe vessel traffic management, we appreciate that disruptive events can – and do – occur but also that our ability to respond and recover is of the upmost importance.

“This accreditation is a fantastic achievement. I am immensely proud of the team and how this demonstrates our ability to manage any potential disruptions"
