Danish Maritime Authority

[7] 2003: "A shipping growth strategy" was published by the Danish Maritime Authority, and industry presents its recommendations for future recruiting and training programmes.

[9][circular reference] 2017: The headquarters of the Danish Maritime Authority and fifty employees were relocated to temporary premises at Fjordvænget 30 in Korsør, as announced in 2015.

The following boards that represent both employer and employees’ organisations have been set up by the Danish Maritime Authority.

The DMAIB is an independent unit under the Ministry of Industry, Business, and Financial Affairs that investigates accidents related to shipping and fishing.

[15] The introduction of the DIS proved to be a historical landmark in the development of the Danish shipping industry as it meant the gradual revival of its merchant fleet, followed up with extensions and related measures, such as the 2002 tonnage taxation.

[16] Blue Denmark is a well-known concept in the Danish public that originated in the late 1980s and covers a range of maritime business activities.

[19] The Danish Maritime Authority publishes statistics on employment and production in the Blue Denmark, as well as plans for growth.

[19] Combining this direct and indirect level of employment, the maritime sector created 3.5 percent of all jobs in Denmark in 2020.

The EU is a priority for Denmark, as the EU´ has a strong ability to compete with other regions and provides framework conditions in the maritime field.

[22] The goal is to strengthen environmental protection, promote the reinforcement of maritime transport (goods and people), and enhance safety at sea.

The organisation plays a key role in connection to the Danish Maritime Authority's development of rules and regulations,[23] and Denmark has given its candidature for re-election to the council of IMO 2022–2023.

[22] The IMO further manages legal issues related to areas of insurance in connection with pollution, liability, and compensation.

[26] The MSP sets the overall planning framework for the offshore sector, maritime transport, transport infrastructure, fisheries, aquaculture, extraction of mineral resources at sea, land reclamation of major importance for society, and the conversation, protection, and improvement of the environment.

[25] A total of 256 consultation responses were received from organizations, municipalities, citizens, research institutions, companies, and associations during this period.

[30] The prospects of more mariculture, which is part of the MSP, are considered a threat among citizens and members of the local council on Djursland to tourism activities.

[30] Tourism is a key element of the local economy, and there have been concerns in Djursland regarding participation in the decision-making process of the MSP.

The mayor of Sydjurs municipality, Ole Bollesen, has expressed hope that the forthcoming MSP consider the interests on land, where among others tourism is important for Djursland.

[34] Denmark, by being on the forefront of digital progress, can reap the rewards and reach its goal of continued growth and market share.

[34] A big part of Denmark's advantage in the maritime field comes from its availability of its competent and highly skilled workers.

This is a prerequisite for further development and high productivity and makes Denmark an attractive place for foreign companies to do business.

Denmark must, through collaboration with like minded nations and close cooperation with the European Union, protect and strengthen free trade.

[34] The Danish Maritime Authority manages a wide number of tasks related to aids to navigation and regulation of areas of importance to support a high safety level.

[40] The platform is a joint regional project operational since 2014, with the main target group as cruise and passenger ships running in Greenlandic waters.

The Danish Maritime Authority informed on 1 June 2018 that it transferred the responsibility of ArcticInfo to Norway, and the Norwegian Coastal Administration has taken over the ownership and operation of the web platform.

[45] Considering the international trade that goes through the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea, safe and secure navigation in the waters around the Horn of Africa is important for Danish shipping.

[44] The Maritime Spatial Plan (MSP) supports the aim of the Climate Act to reduce Danish CO2 by being Europe's most ambitious user of offshore wind energy.
