Overview

New digital tool will make it easier for shipowners to make decisions about decarbonization across the full lifecycle of a vessel

A new digital Lifecycle Emissions Assessment Tool makes it possible to simulate a vessel’s entire lifecycle from well to wake. This will make it easier to make decisions that optimally balance environmental and economic considerations.

Danish Shipping: The shipping industry’s CO₂ payments should be used to build up green fuel production in the EU

Danish shipping companies pay billions into the EU’s CO₂ Emissions Trading System (ETS). Danish Shipping therefore urges that these funds be used to establish and scale up the production of green fuels in Europe.

Von der Leyen once again points to the central challenges, but there is far too little action

The Commission President highlighted security, com­pe­ti­ti­ve­ness and the green transition in her annual “State of the Union” address in Strasbourg. These are priorities that Danish Shipping fully supports, and they are not new. What is missing now is concrete action that delivers results.

Policies

Climate

Danish Shipping has a clear goal of achieving climate neutrality by 2050 without relying on carbon offsetting.

Environment

The shipping industry supports stringent legislation and applauds Danish companies for adopting new technologies that align with environmental and climate considerations.

Taxation and regulatory framework

Denmark must maintain and strengthen its position in global shipping through in­ter­na­tio­nal­ly competitive taxation and remuneration.
