Danish Ports’ Response to the Public Comment Period on the Draft Executive Order on “A Single Point of Contact for Manufacturing Companies and Government Designation of Industrial Parks”

Danish Ports is supportive of the draft executive order on “A Single Point of Contact for Manufacturing Companies and Government Designation of Industrial Parks,” which supplements the bill.

It is important that companies at the ports can be included under a single umbrella and that they also have the opportunity to qualify as an independent entity or as part of a “zero-emissions project.” Here, ports engaged in, for example, wind turbine manufacturing, green research, CCUS, or similar activities should hopefully be able to form partnerships with the companies at the port.

We also view it as very positive that all companies located in a government-designated industrial park are considered to be in the “national interest.”

At the commercial port, in addition to providing sufficient space, efforts will be made—as far as possible—to ensure that the space is of sufficient quality for the specific purpose and that access to relevant services is available, enabling projects and green businesses to be realized and succeed. In this context, the commercial port sees itself as a foundation for the green transition.

Therefore, Danske Havne urges that the relevant regulatory permits be processed with the necessary speed so that the projects are not delayed, made more expensive, or unnecessarily complicated. It is unclear whether this can be included directly in the executive order, but it would be highly desirable if it could be mentioned.

Sincerely,
Camilla Rosenhagen
