Climate

One of Danish Shipping's targets is for at least five percent of Danish-operated ships to be able to sail using net-zero fuels based on a well-to-wake life cycle approach by 2030. Moreover, the first ocean-going zero-emission vessel should enter commercial operation by 2030. 

It is an ambitious goal that aligns with the UN's international maritime organization IMO's goal that the international shipping industry must be climate neutral by 2050 at the latest and that in 2030 at least 5% of fuel consumption must be made up of green fuels. The members of Danish Shipping are well underway in investing in new ships capable of operating on sustainable fuels.

This demonstrates that Danish shipping is willing to take a leading role and global leadership, but also acknowledges that the transition to climate-neutral shipping does not happen overnight.

Danish Shipping is actively engaged in a variety of projects focusing on both technical and policy aspects of emissions reduction in shipping. We are in close dialogue with authorities and provide guidance to our members.

The goal of climate neutrality is also outlined in Danish Shipping's strategy 'Towards Zero'. Read more about it here.
