Studying the Impact of Pandemic Outbreaks on Maritime Transportation and Port Operation

项目名称：	Studying the Impact of Pandemic Outbreaks on Maritime Transportation and Port Operation
摘要：	The COVID-19 pandemic was unraveling the economy nationally and globally as most of the world moved toward a lockdown that entails the closure of significant portions of both the service and manufacturing industries. Due to the pandemic outbreak, ports have seen many “blank sailings” - ships scheduled to arrive that never finished their journeys. Scheduled vessel calls in many ports have been canceled by shipping lines. Ocean carriers worldwide have scrubbed voyages due to dwindling demand by shippers for vessel space. Many ports are currently seeing sharp falls in activity. The proposed research study will investigate the impact of pandemic outbreaks on maritime transportation, especially on port operation. It is important to study how to mitigate the myriad of issues which arise in such events. This may provide the authorities and stakeholders in ports and maritime transportation the better understanding of the vulnerability of the maritime domain to the future pandemic outbreaks and the external shocks to the system.
