#15 In EuropeThe European sea and coastal freight transport industry took a huge hit from the effects of the global pandemic and geopolitical tensions in recent years. After enjoying a period of steady growth prior to the pandemic, the industry slumped in 2020, with pandemic-induced lockdowns severely affecting demand, leading to a dramatic downturn in freight volumes. Shipping companies continue to grapple with challenges in the absence of pandemic-related restrictions, though a hefty rise in freight rates has buoyed revenue and profitability.
