Adaptability is all about the survival. This is particularly true in the business world including the maritime sector. Maritime business is volatile in nature, largely due to the fact that the supply side is clumsy: that is, less-responsive to unexpected demands, and relatively more time to take back to the right track towards a so-called equilibrium between demand and supply (Ma, 2020). This very nature of volatility becomes even more capricious and unpredictable by the currently ongoing pandemic, causing the maritime business world to be exposed to the greater uncertainty. Recent years will be definitely remembered a special or unprecedented incident by human history in terms of scale and impact on every aspect of human life. Throughout the history, however, human beings have been all the time seeking out a way to respond to the (un)expected challenges.
