The COVID-19 pandemic has had strong economic repercussions on the industrial fabric of many countries around the world, with different degrees of impact depending on the level of severity with which the pandemic hit these countries. Italy has suffered a significant impact on its economy and export volumes have dropped dramatically for some product categories. The objective of this research is to understand how the pandemic has affected some selected logistics flows (i.e., fruit, automotive and machinery) transiting through the ports of Genoa and Savona, and to highlight the mitigation strategies that have been implemented during the pandemic period. The research was carried out analyzing customs and port data, as well as with the support of interviews and focus groups with experts of the Ligurian port sector. Finally, some policy indications are outlined with the aim of increasing the resilience of the supply chains analyzed in this research. These indications should help supply chains to be efficient and effective in forwarding flows of goods to/from ports even in the occurrence of unforeseen high-impact events.
新冠疫情对世界上许多国家的产业结构产生了巨大的经济影响，其影响程度因疫情在这些国家的严重程度而异。意大利经济遭受了重大冲击，一些产品类别的出口量急剧下降。本研究的目的是了解疫情如何影响了途经热那亚港和萨沃纳港的某些选定物流（即水果、汽车和机械），并突出在疫情期间实施的缓解策略。该研究通过分析海关和港口数据以及在利古里亚港口部门专家的访谈和焦点小组的支持下进行。最后，概述了一些政策建议，旨在提高本研究中分析的供应链的复原力。这些建议应有助于供应链在向港口/从港口转运货物流动时，即使发生不可预见的高影响事件，也能高效且有效地运作。
