The United Nations has warned that the global economy faces “a US$2 trillion hit” in a “doomsday scenario” after the World Health Organization declared a worldwide pandemic.

As the Covid-19 disease spreads across the planet and the battle switches from China to Europe and the United States, concerns are growing that global growth will be wiped out as consumer demand evaporates.

“From an economic perspective, the key issue is not just the number of cases of Covid-19, but the level of disruption to economies from containment measures,” Ben

Per Funch-Nielsen (20|20 Marine Energy): There are issues to consider surrounding passenger ship operators' choices for meeting the 2020 low sulphur directive

While many passenger ship operators have decided how they will meet the 2020 low sulphur directive, there are issues to consider surrounding their choice. Senior associate at 20|20 Marine Energy Per Funch-Nielsen explains
