Maritime industry's response to the critical operational challenges faced in COVID-19: technical ship management execution
Maritime industry has been the foundation for worldwide trade, accounting for more than 90% of international trade, and more than 80% of raw materials are transported in ships, due to the cost-effectiveness of carrying such commodities in bulk (Xu et al., 2020). Furthermore, the industry suggests a...

Maritime industry has been the foundation for worldwide trade, accounting for more than 90% of international trade, and more than 80% of raw materials are transported in ships, due to the cost-effectiveness of carrying such commodities in bulk (Xu et al., 2020). Furthermore, the industry suggests a significant role to a country’s development, as it provides about 6%-8% GDP in OECD countries, and about 25% in certain developing countries (World Bank, 2018). As such, the shipping industry has been said to be a critical coordinator for globalization.
Trailing the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the shipping industry is faced with grueling challenges, leading to conspicuous consequences on the industry and on seafarers themselves, and IMO has been proactive in search of solutions to mitigate such consequences.
