Impacts of COVID-19 in maritime transportation and its related policy measures have been investigated by more and more organizations and researchers across the world. This paper aims to examine the impacts of COVID-19 on seaport transportation and the maritime supply chain field and its related issues in India. Secondary data are used to analyze the performance indicators of major seaports in India before and during the COVID-19 crisis. We further explore and discuss the expert's views about the impact, preparedness, response, and recovery aspects for the maritime-related sector in India. The results on the quantitative performance of Indian major seaports during the COVID-19 indicate a negative growth in the cargo traffic and a decrease in the number of vessel traffic compared to pre-COVID-19. The expert survey results suggest a lack of preparedness for COVID-19 and the need for developing future strategies by maritime organizations. The overall findings of the study shall assist in formulating maritime strategies by enhancing supply chain resilience and sustainable business recovery process while preparing for a post-COVID-19 crisis. The study also notes that the Covid-19 crisis is still an ongoing concern, as the government, maritime organizations, and stakeholders face towards providing vaccine and remedial treatment to infected people. Further, this study can be expanded to the global maritime supply chain business context and to conduct interdisciplinary research in marine technical fields and maritime environment to measure the impact of COVID-19.

全球越来越多的组织和研究人员研究了 COVID-19 对海上运输的影响及其相关政策措施。本文旨在研究 COVID-19 对印度海港运输和海运供应链领域的影响及其相关问题。二手数据用于分析 COVID-19 危机之前和期间印度主要海港的绩效指标。我们进一步探讨和讨论专家对印度海事相关部门的影响、准备、响应和恢复方面的看法。COVID-19 期间印度主要海港的定量表现结果表明，与 COVID-19 之前相比，货运量负增长，船舶运输量减少。专家调查结果表明，对 COVID-19 缺乏准备，海事组织需要制定未来战略。该研究的总体结果将有助于通过增强供应链弹性和可持续业务恢复过程来制定海事战略，同时为 COVID-19 后危机做准备。该研究还指出，Covid-19 危机仍然是一个持续关注的问题，因为政府、海事组织和利益相关者面临着为感染者提供疫苗和补救治疗的问题。此外，这项研究可以扩展到全球海事供应链业务背景，并在海洋技术领域和海事环境中进行跨学科研究，以衡量 COVID-19 的影响。
