Danish Ports' Executive Committee

Danish Ports has three main committees. Director Forum, Fishery Forum and Forum for smaller ports. The committees are appointed by the board and are tasked with making recommendations to the board on the formulation of the association's general policy within their areas.

Professional networks for subject matter experts

Danish Ports has created 3 networks on professional topics. Environment and Technology, Maritime issues and Administrative issues. Members of the professional networks on administration, environment and nautical issues are the professional experts in the ports. The professional networks meet regularly for full or half theme days, where the topics are put on the agenda by the members. The professional networks are also used by the secretariat for professional sparring on specific cases, e.g. consultation responses.

International representation

To promote the business interests of its members, Danish Ports is a member of the international port organizations European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO) and World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure (PIANC). Danish Ports' secretariat and members participate in the professional committees and thereby promote Danish interests in European legislation.

Councils and committees

Danish Ports is represented in ministries' special committees for processing EU legislative proposals in the Danish EU procedure. In addition, Danish Ports and its members sit as representatives in ministries' and agencies' working groups and complaints boards.
