MAY- 2021AEROSPACEDEFENSEREVIEW.COM6EditorialWithout a doubt, we can say that 2020 was a chaotic year for many industries, and maritime logistics is no exception. Several reports estimate that the global maritime trade had plunged last year due to the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the industry is expected to recover this year, it's likely to look a little different, having some far-reaching implications.The COVID-19 pandemic has provided a unique opportunity for the maritime industry to reassess and recalibrate its stance. Historically ships have been an important source of data for weather forecasting and research. However, with the decrease in the number of ships traveled last year, the amount of data is less, and it has constricted possible research opportunities. The COVID-19 pandemic also highlighted the outdated procedures and paperwork at ports and the importance of the fast transition to digital forms. In response, the industry is expected to witness the emergence of advanced cloud-based solutions that can store data as well as utilize it to make decisions. Another trend anticipated in the maritime industry is the adoption of new methods and processes to curb the effects of climate change and ensure environmental sustainability. The maritime shipping and logistics companies are planning to focus more on complying with C02 emission regulations and climate change policies. With new solutions and services expected to disrupt the maritime industry, it's important to observe the changes and prepare for the future.
