The eighth edition of this report analyses some of the most interesting phenomena affecting the maritime economy, brought to light by the pandemic. Covid-19, in fact, has continued to have an impact on all variables and traffic dynamics, especially with regards to the container sector.  A section of the Report is dedicated to Sustainability, considered to be a pillar on which the world economy will have to focus in the years to come. At the moment, investing in new forms of energy (such as hydrogen and LNG), focusing on everything that leads to zero emissions or the creation of so-called Green Ports, seems to be more of an obligation than a necessity. SRM's analyses look at all this, while making use of essays and in-depth studies elaborated by its national and international partners, such as the Universities of Hamburg and Antwerp and the Shanghai International Shipping Institute.
