“…Firstly, companies must understand the fluctuations in demand during the disruption period. Secondly, the ability to match capacity with demand is critical for transit hubs, and the availability of capacity during the pandemic presents a significant challenge for transit service providers [19]. Furthermore, geographical risk, especially with regard to changing government policies in various countries during the pandemic, creates new and complex challenges for logistics managers to respond to quickly [20].…”

“…Freight mobility, or the smooth and efficient flow of cargo, is a crucial constraint in the logistics industry [23]. This constraint is due to physical, operational, and regulatory factors, such as physical constraints like connecting rail, sea, and land terminals, operational factors like switch conflicts and terminal yard inefficiency, and regulations like parking restrictions and labor laws [19,24]. Cargo transport is a key element in the supply chain that ensures the timely availability of raw materials and finished products [25,26].…”

This research is a case study on the United Arab Emirates (UAE), exploring multimodal logistics, which involves transporting cargo using multiple modes of transportation, and investigating its challenges and opportunities during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2020 to 2022. Through a mixed-method approach of qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys, this study examines factors influencing multimodal cargo transport and its performance. Five senior executives from the logistics industry were interviewed to identify key variables, and a questionnaire was administered to 120 participants to assess the impact on shipping costs and utilization. This study reveals a significant relationship between geographical and geopolitical risks and increased shipping costs in certain regions, highlighting the need for secure and cost-effective multimodal solutions in these areas. However, shipping costs did not mediate the performance of intermodal transportation at transit hubs during the pandemic. The findings offer valuable insights for transit hubs to enhance the utilization of multimodal cargo transport during uncertain times, ultimately leading to improved logistics performance in similar hub countries. This study’s originality lies in its investigation of the resilience and sustainability dimensions in multimodal logistics during the pandemic, proposing mitigation strategies and enhancing strategic decision making in the logistics industry under volatile business environments. Future research is recommended to expand the model’s results by including data from other logistics corridors and hubs.
