https://doi.org/10.21686/2410-7395-2022-2-5-19
Abstract
The article examines the current trends in the development of sea freight transport in conjunction with the main trends in the formation of international trade, emerging under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, special operations of Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine on the background of the processes of digital transformation and decarbonization of the economy in combination with other factors. The authors come to the conclusion that the market for maritime transport services, as well as the other areas of international economic relations, continue to remain in a state of uncertainty related to ambiguity at the timing of the end of the epidemic, the consequences of breaks in global supply chains, looming energy, financial and food crises. It is concluded that the only correct solutions in these conditions of uncertainty may be a stake on scientific and technological progress and further advancement along the paths of digital transformation of maritime transport with a focus on strengthening the environmental component. Otherwise, the future is unpredictable.
