Improvements needed for Jersey supply chain resilience – panel

Jersey’s emergency planning laws should take into account how the island gets its essential supplies of food, medicine and fuel, a review has said.

The Supply Chain Resilience Review by Jersey’s Economic and International Affairs Scrutiny Panel highlighted a number of threats to getting essential goods to the island.

It raised issues including the weather, service failure and infrastructure.

The panel made nine recommendations, including creating alternative routes, using air freight suppliers and ferry services using roll-on roll-off ramps.
