Danish Shipowners' Association

Danish shipping (former known as Danish Shipowners' Association) is an interest organization which represents Denmark’s shipping industry, which is the biggest single standing export business. Of the members, which counts ships from over 90 shipping- and off-shore companies, more than half the sail under the Danish flag, while the other half, the associated member shipping companies, do their work from Denmark without having ships under Danish flag. The Danish trade fleet which Danish Shipping represents, consists of more than 2000 ships, which makes Denmark one of the 10 biggest maritime nations in the world. Moreover, the Danish shipping industry exported more than 280 mio kr. in 2020 and therefore stood for 27% of the total Danish export.Danish shipping was founded in 1884 and has ever since been the core of the Danish shipping industry. Danish Shipping handles the interests of the industry and works as an employer’s association for the members with ships under the Danish Flag. To be an employer’s association in Denmark means that you are a part of the yearly negotiations on collective settlements in the type of industry you are a part of – also called the Danish Model. In other words, Danish Shipping represents and negotiates on behalf of all employers, who are members, of the shipping industry (henvis). As an interest organisation, Danish Shipping lobbies for better regulative conditions for the shipping industry, in particular, they lobby for a liberal market with healthy competition. Because of the size and strength of the organization, this means that Danish Shipping plays an active role in the political decision making, both nationally and internationally. A good example on the kind of political work that Danish Shipping has participated in is the new policy strategy “Blue Denmark”.To maintain Danish shipping’s interest internationally they are also members of the international shipping organisations ICS and ECSA, which means they are a part of all relevant situations and furthermore have a permanent office in Brussels.
