New project: Shipping must be a key part of Denmark’s electric future

The electri­fi­ca­tion of Danish shipping is advancing rapidly. Access to electricity and sufficient grid capacity remains the biggest barrier. A new project will provide practical recom­men­da­tions for policymakers and other key stakeholders, paving the way to unlock its full potential.

Record year on the Northeast Passage – but Arctic shipping remains very limited

In 2025, a record 103 transit voyages were made via the Northeast Passage. However, this is still equivalent to only around a day and a half of ship traffic around the Cape of Good Hope. The vast majority of traffic on the Northeast Passage is linked to Russia and China.

Maritime innovation: New partnership shortens the path to EU funding

Denmark’s maritime sector needs to become better at securing EU funding. Danish Maritime and Danish Shipping, in collaboration with ShippingLab, are establishing a new platform that will make it easier to match the needs and expertise of Denmark’s maritime sector with relevant EU funding opportunities. The aim is to accelerate the development of promising ideas and foster new partnerships.

The FuelEU maritime legislation was adopted earlier this year. As a member, you can find an overview of relevant news here.
