Danish Ports

The past year in an international perspective

From the beginning of the year, 2020 was expected to be all about the EU's Multiannual Financial Framework and the Green Deal. As for everyone else, this was overshadowed by other more pressing issues in the spring. For both Danish and European ports, the common experience was that ports were helping to lift an important [...]

Virtual events were the solution to many months without meeting

The many canceled events in 2020 have forced us to think in new ways. In Danish Ports, we have therefore tried to be adaptable and create ways to still meet and talk to each other. This has meant that many meetings, forums and events in recent months have been held on online platforms, including [...]

Canceled events due to the corona pandemic

Although it has in many ways been an eventful year in Danish Ports, there was also a lot that did not turn out quite as we wanted it to. At Danish Ports, we had to cancel many events, forums and networking meetings that were scheduled to take place during the year. Like so many others, we had to [...]

Danish Ports opens for associate members

2020 was also the year that Danish Ports opened up for associate members. The associate membership is intended for companies that operate in connection with a port as either customers, partners or similar, and should enable the port and its users to get closer to each other and thereby get a natural dialog. The associate membership gives [...]

Blue Denmark is among Danish strengths

It was also in 2020 that the Business Promotion Board, which is part of the Danish Business Authority, designated Blue Denmark as one of twelve Danish strengths. Although the designation happened before the Corona pandemic broke out, it will probably lead to a greater focus on the entire maritime industry in the future. And of course, we at Danske [...] are very happy about that.

Danish ports are green

In many ways, both the Climate Partnerships and the Danish Ports' Infrastructure Plan play a role in our green work. In Danish Ports, we work to ensure that more people realize that more goods by sea is a good and climate-friendly alternative to rail and road, and we look forward to the negotiations on a green mobility plan in [...]

Danish Ports' infrastructure plan 

In addition to participating in the Government's Climate Partnerships, Danish Ports has during 2020 collected requests for infrastructure projects from the individual ports. These requests can be seen as a supplement to the Climate Partnership for Land Transport's recommendation to prepare a Freight Transport Analysis and have since become the Infrastructure Plan launched by Danish Ports in September. The Infrastructure Plan offers [...]

Danish Ports in the government's Climate Partnerships

At Danish Ports, it has been an eventful year, where we participated in the climate partnerships for Land Transport and Blue Denmark in the period leading up to the outbreak of the corona crisis. Both climate partnerships delivered their recommendations to the government in mid-March, but the major national crisis has naturally overshadowed the recommendations. Now, however, the time has come to get the focus back [...]

The development of Danish commercial ports in 2020

Even though our sector has been hit by the Corona crisis, a lot has happened at the individual ports. The Port of Esbjerg has spent 2020 getting well on its way to becoming a climate-neutral port. The port has entered into a unique partnership with technology company Honeywell, and together they have embarked on a [...]

Corona crisis in Danish Ports

Another year has passed. A year that in many ways has been clearly marked by the Coronavirus, but also a year that has proven that ports are both adaptable and willing to work hard to keep operations running. Most ports have weathered the coronavirus crisis well so far, but it's clear that [...]
