Shippingwatch: Port workers in England are working again. For now.

Maritime: Government wants to slim down the Danish Maritime Authority

DKK 26 million. This is the amount the government will save on the maritime authority, the Danish Maritime Authority, in the proposal for the Finance Act for 2023.

The savings will be made partly in the basic appropriation and partly in temporary appropriations. Søfart writes that for the Danish Maritime Authority, [...]

Soil creates great activity at the Port of Kalundborg

The many large construction projects in Kalundborg result in significant amounts of soil to be excavated and removed from the construction sites. For this reason, up to 150,000 tons of soil will be shipped from the Port of Kalundborg to Masnedø near Vordingborg. Sailing the soil to Masnedø is actually a really good idea, because if it was transported by truck instead, it would [...]

Port of Skagen consolidates leading position in Danish fisheries

Although the Port of Skagen is already the market leader in Danish fisheries and Denmark's largest fishing port, statistics from the Danish Fisheries Agency for the first half of 2022 show that further market share is being gained.
