COPENHAGEN: Blue Denmark accounts for one-fourth of Danish exports. In times of great global challenges in the area, it is thus important to strive to maintain the Danish maritime position of strength.
With approx. 50 events around the country, the purpose of Danish Maritime Days is to position Blue Denmark as an attractive international cooperation partner and one of the world’s leading maritime nations.
“Danish Maritime Days is an international event which, first of all, provides us with a unique chance of promoting Danish maritime businesses. Secondly, Danish Maritime Days creates a fantastic platform where maritime players from all over the world can meet and discuss how to handle some of the challenges faced by the global maritime industry.”
“Blue Denmark is of great importance to economic growth and employment all over Denmark. But the maritime sector is faced with major challenges and, therefore, it is important to focus on maintaining and strengthening our Danish maritime positions of strength.”
During Danish Maritime Days, Danish and international maritime players meet to consider issues from safety and the environment, over free trade and technological innovation, to offshore activities and education and training.
The flagship event of the week is the Danish Maritime Forum, which is held on 26-27 October. Here, international maritime senior executives from both companies, authorities and organisations get together to consider possible solutions to, inter alia, tough market conditions with a large global over-capacity, historically low earnings within several shipping segments and still greater requirements for safety and environmental protection.
