Welcome to Danish Shipping

Today, Danish Shipping and the Ukrainian trade union Marine Transport Workers’ Trade Union of Ukraine (MTWTU) have put pen to paper on a collective agreement initially covering Ukrainian officers on DIS-ships. An agreement covering ordinary Ukrainian seafarers is also expected to be concluded in the near future.

This week, Torben Carlsen, CEO of DFDS and chairman of Danish Shipping participates in the European Shipping Summit 2023 to bring Danish Shipping’s priorities forward to decision-makers in the EU institutions. Ambitious regulation and investments in the green transition of shipping is at the very top of the list of priorities.

Danish Shipping is ready, willing, and able to contribute to the EU’s 2050 climate goals. We are committed to making global shipping climate neutral by 2050.

Danish Shipping and WIS-Denmark will continue to offer events in the Blue Denmark's maternity café, Parent'SHIP, where parents can meet each other, stay connected to the industry, and gain new inspiration.

The countries of the United Nations' International Maritime Organization (IMO) have reached a climate agreement that sets a clear goal of climate neutrality for global shipping by 2050 and establishes a series of milestones along the way. Danish Shipping has worked towards an ambitious agreement and is very satisfied with the outcome.
