This study focused
on the effects of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on the
Mediterranean freight transport and logistics sector. However,
in this study some important topics were under-represented, and
they could be explored in future research. In a world that is
more vulnerable, uncertain and complex than ever, supply chains
must become more resilient and be able to permanently adapt to
major risks, both health and geopolitical. Indeed, the impact of
the war points to the need to improve the resilience of
logistics systems and risk management in the Mediterranean
supply chains. Another important topic to guide future research
concerns the assessment of the environmental impact of logistics
and the sustainable mobility of goods in the region. Finally,
the issue of the integration of transport and logistics systems
between the different countries in the area remain seldom
investigated. Hence, future research might consider
investigating such topics.
