Egypt is important for Danish Shipping

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.

Good News: No More Unnecessary Bureaucracy at German Ports

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.

Policies

Climate

Danish Shipping has a clear goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050 without relying on carbon offsetting.

Environment

The shipping industry supports stringent legislation and applauds Danish companies for adopting new technologies that align with environmental and climate considerations.

Taxation and regulatory framework

Denmark must maintain and strengthen its position in global shipping through in­ter­na­tio­nal­ly competitive taxation and remuneration.
