CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Key insights and projections from the UNCTAD Review of Maritime
  Transport\n\nMaritime transport is the backbone of international trade an
 d the global economy. Over 80% of the volume of international trade in goo
 ds is carried by sea\, and the percentage is even higher for most developi
 ng countries.\n\nThe Review of Maritime Transport is an UNCTAD flagship re
 port\, published annually since 1968. It provides an analysis of structura
 l and cyclical changes affecting seaborne trade\, ports\, and shipping\, a
 s well as an extensive collection of statistics from maritime trade and tr
 ansport.\n\nThe latest edition of the report has a special focus on the CO
 VID-19 pandemic&#039\;s impact on the industry and includes a special chap
 ter on the challenges seafarers face in view of the crewing crisis.\n\nThe
  course will update delegates on key developments in seaborne trade\, mari
 time and port business\, freight rates\, key performance indicators\, seaf
 arers’ concerns\, and the necessary legal and regulatory framework to fa
 cilitate international maritime trade and transport.\n\nDelegates will lea
 rn about policy option to keep ships moving\, ports open\, and trade flowi
 ng in times of pandemic\, and when confronted with the future challenge of
  the decarbonization of maritime transport.\n&lt\;h3 class=&quot\;text-ali
