Port of Thorsminde will be a service port for the Thor offshore wind farm

The port of Thorsminde has the shortest distance to the upcoming offshore wind farm 20 km out in the North Sea.

Thank you for this year

2020 is coming to an end, and in Danish Ports we hope, like so many others, that 2021 will be a less crisis-ridden year. Regardless, we will, as always, work hard to secure and strengthen the framework conditions for Danish commercial ports. Thank you for a great year to our members and external stakeholders. We look forward to many [...]

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

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 [...]

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 [...]
