An on-board energy and environmental analysis within the COVID-19 effects

Abstract

The marine transportation industry, which has made significant steps in recent years to combat climate change and global warming, is heavily influenced by regional and worldwide economic trends. The COVID-19 pandemic, which began in China at the end of 2019 and spread to the rest of the world in the first quarter of 2020, caused the global economy and marine transport to decline by 4.1% in 2020. It is proposed in this study to investigate various scenarios by modelling this circumstance that has unexpectedly occurred using decision assistance technologies.
