Welcome to Danish Shipping

Denmark maintains its position among the world's ten largest maritime nations. Denmark has overtaken Germany and is now ranked 9th on the list.

Danish Shipping strongly supports IMO guidelines on biofouling management to protect vulnerable marine ecosystems and the biodiversity of the seas. Biofouling is a major factor in the spread of invasive species.

An agreement has now been reached between the parties involved in a large-scale CO2 storage project aimed at securing carbon storage in the North Sea. With the final investment decision, INEOS Energy, Harbour Energy, and the Danish North Sea Fund can now announce that, as the first in the EU, they will begin storing CO2 underground in the North Sea in 2025/2026.

Significant issues are on the agenda for the Egyptian state visit to Denmark. For Danish shipping, particular focus is on the Suez Canal and the production of green fuels.

German authorities have now dropped the requirement for Danish ships without SOLAS certificates to undergo inspections when entering German ports or operating out of Germany. This has been warmly welcomed by the industry, as it eliminates redundant and time-consuming bureaucracy, given that Danish ships are already inspected in Denmark.
