    Abstract

    With the COVID-19 pandemic evitably becoming the “New Normality” and will continue to impact human society much longer than anticipated, it is essential to explore effective measures that global ports can take to adapt to unexpected challenges in the post-COVID-19 era. This paper builds a port resilience index system based on the entropy weight method from a multistakeholder's view. We utilize the port resilience index system for 22 major Chinese ports during 2020–2021. We further investigate the direct impact of port resilience on port governance performance. Our results indicate that resiliently-governed ports can guarantee higher port throughput while sustaining lower congestion when facing challenges from the global pandemic.
