Abstract

Climate change and COVID-19 have disrupted food supply chains and exacerbated food security challenges (Rasul, 2021). The safety of sea and air transportation in food delivery is also a disruption that impacts logistics in the food value chain (Singh et al., 2021). Integration of sea and air transportation safety during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on the impact of climate change on food supplies and the rapid spread of viruses through air travel, is essential to ensure that food distribution is not disrupted. The research investigates the response of countries and major international organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The methodology used in the study was a systematic literature review (SLR) by identifying 875 journals in the first stage. Then, through strict screening, 50 articles were selected and further analyzed. Covering continents, specific countries, and important ports, the research uses quantitative databases such as the Scopus journal index. The study results reveal the long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the aviation and maritime sectors and its influence on global passenger and goods transportation. SLR’s findings also bring together insights from diverse research on safety integration across different modes of transportation during the pandemic. Research provides recommendations — climate-related changes for safe transportation, applicable in normal and pandemic circumstances. In conclusion, this article comprehensively explains maintaining a safe and efficient transportation network amidst complex challenges.
