Abstract :
Maritime-related industries contribute
significantly to the global economy and societal wellbeing. The marine and shipping sector is one of the
industries that has suffered as a result of the
development of COVID -19. The pandemic corona virus
epidemically has had a huge influence on human
behavior in the water, with port closures and alterations
in consumption habits affecting a range of marine
industries, including fisheries, passenger ferries, and
cruise ships, all of which rely largely on people mobility
and good weather (Bennett et al., 2020). The purpose of
this paper’s research is to investigate and assess the
impact of pandemic corona virus on Pakistan's main
seaports and the marine supply chain, as well as the level
of readiness, response, logistical operations, and crew
sign-off and sign-on crew issues. By examining, policy
advice will be proposed. The study was descriptive, and
data was collected using a self-developed structured
questionnaire. Questionnaire was distributed among 100
people related to maritime industry to check their
responses towards impact of Pandemic corona virus on
maritime industry. For the statistical analysis of the
data, statistical procedures such as demographic
analysis, Frequency, and Correlation are analyzed. The
research presented in this paper is an evaluation of the
effect of pandemic corona virus on the Pakistani
maritime environment, we use the conclusions and
results of this entire study to build a maritime strategy.
There is a necessity to build a long-term contingency
plan for organizations, as well as government support, to
combat the influence of pandemic corona virus on
marine domain organizations in Pakistan.
