Dopady vybraných globálních krizí na námořní logistiku čerstvého ovoce a zeleniny z Asie do Evropy

This bachelor thesis presents a comparative analysis of the impacts of three major global crises — the COVID-19 pandemic, the Suez Canal blockage, and the war in Ukraine — on the maritime logistics of fresh fruit and vegetables on the Asia-Europe route. The aim of the thesis is to identify specific supply chain disruption mechanisms and quantify changes in freight costs, transport fluidity, and import volumes. The theoretical part examines the global supply chain of fresh fruit and vegetables, the concept of resilience, and the impacts of individual global crises on logistics from Asia to Europe. The practical part utilizes a description of selected indicators, statistical testing via analysis of variance (ANOVA), the Tukey-Kramer post-hoc test for a deeper identification of differences, and a weighted scoring model for an overall assessment of the crises' severity. The results confirm that the COVID-19 pandemic had the most complex impact (4.1 points), followed by the war in Ukraine, which manifested primarily as an energy shock. The findings emphasize the necessity of transforming logistical models towards higher energy stability and proactive agility; combined with a shift to a "just-in-case" strategy and the implementation of digital traceability, these factors represent the key to maintaining the biological quality of goods in crisis scenarios.
