Abstract
The paperwork considers the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the container crisis provoked by restrictions. At the beginning of 2020, due to the uneven closure of borders, the situation developed when China gradually began to unlock manufacturing, while EU countries were under quarantine. This situation led to delays of containers delivery in the EU countries ports, which affected not only Eurasia, but also the whole transport and logistics system of the world. The article examines the state of container transportation markets in 2020-2021 years, as well as the consequences, advantages, and experience of different countries and the possibilities of overcoming this particular crisis situation.
