Abstract

The paper analyzes the main trends in the transport logistics market before the emergence of the coronavirus pandemic and in the process of its occurrence. Emphasis is placed on the dynamics of passenger and freight turnover. The number of transported passengers and volumes of transported goods by types of transport are reflected. The main risks of transport logistics in the conditions of COVID-19 are described taking into account features of the internal market. The paper examines the current problems of transport logistics in the context of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic and potential ways to solve them. Many scientists have conducted research to improve the efficiency of transport logistics, in particular, freight, which are relevant areas of development, because the competitiveness of freight forwarding companies in a pandemic COVID-19 directly depends on the proper use of methods of logistics. Today, transport logistics is important for the planning process, forecasting not only the amount of costs directly for delivery, but also in the formation of plans for transport costs in general in order to fully fulfill the order of consumers of transport services. That is why the issue of transport logistics development in the context of the coronavirus pandemic COVID-19 is extremely relevant. The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic is affecting the global economy and every business in particular. Suspension of enterprises in different countries of the world, closure of passenger flights, reduction of production volumes – all this was reflected in the logistics of freight transportation. Today, logistics, like other areas of business, is experiencing turbulence as a result of the spread of Covid-19 in the world and in Ukraine. Now the delivery of goods and personal orders is carried out according to the usual schedules, but changes in the work of logistics and transport companies are also taking place.
