This initiative acknowledges compliance with EU regulations, promoting safer and environmentally sound practices in the global ship recycling industry amidst rising demand.
Danish Shipping has launched its five-year strategy, “Charting the Course,” to position Denmark as a leading hub for shipping. Key objectives include expanding the Danish-flagged merchant fleet, increasing the number of trained seafarers, and enhancing maritime education. The strategy emphasizes sustainability and adapting to global regulatory frameworks for shipping.
Danish Shipping has launched a program to enhance maritime skills among African cadets, focusing on West Africa. Collaborating with major Danish shipowners like Maersk and Norden, the initiative aims to provide world-class training.
