Abstract
[Resumen] La rápida expansión del COVID-19
a nivel global y, principalmente, las medidas
de confinamiento, distanciamiento social
y restricciones de movilidad adoptadas
por las autoridades de los distintos países
para contener la pandemia han provocado
una paralización repentina de una parte importante de la actividad en muchos países.
Consecuentemente la COVID-19 generó una
crisis económica mundial sin precedentes que
afectó al transporte de mercancías en general y
evidentemente al sector marítimo en particular,
como industria global que es, así como los
demás sectores conexos como el transporte
aéreo y terrestre. Además, el transporte
marítimo de pasajeros, fundamentalmente
cruceros y ferries, se ha visto especialmente
afectado por las restricciones impuestas o el
cierre de algunas terminales y fronteras. Esto
provocó que el tráfico de cruceros prácticamente
desapareciera y el de ferries descendiera y se
limitara únicamente a los pasajeros que viajaban
por una necesidad esencial. La suspensión
de la actividad industrial, el confinamiento
y la reducción de los desplazamientos en la
mayoría de los países ha reducido los niveles
de contaminación, sobre todo la contaminación
atmosférica, mejorando la calidad del aire y la
capa de ozono. Sin embargo, ha provocado
un incremento en el consumo de productos
plásticos, sobre todo de usar y tirar, para uso
hospitalario y doméstico, constituyendo una
amenaza más para el medioambiente.
[Abstract] The rapid expansion of COVID- 19 globally and, mainly, the confinement measures, social distancing and mobility restrictions adopted by the authorities of the different countries to contain the pandemic have caused a sudden stoppage of a significant part of the activity in many countries. Consequently, COVID-19 generated an unprecedented global economic crisis that affected the transport of goods in general and obviously the maritime sector in particular, as a global industry, as well as other related sectors such as air and land transport. In addition, the maritime transport of passengers, mainly cruise ships and ferries, has been particularly affected by the restrictions imposed or the closure of some terminals and borders. This caused cruise ship traffic to practically disappear and ferry traffic to decline and be limited only to passengers traveling for an essential need. Suspension of industrial activity, confinement and the reduction of travel in most countries has reduced pollution levels, especially air pollution, improving air quality and the ozone layer. However, it has caused an increase in the consumption of plastic products, especially disposable, for hospital and domestic use, constituting one more threat to the environment.
