The Danish Maritime Authority informed that another 11 ships from will fly the Danish flag soon. This development adds on a recent milestone for DMA, when Danish shipping registries surpassed 20 million GT for the first time ever.
DMA noted:
Even though Denmark is not the world’s biggest ship registry, we are now in front when it comes to growth rate over the past year, which means that in just one month, the Danish International Shipping Register has grown from 20 mio. BT to 20,5, and that there is now more than 700 ships registered in DIS.
As noted by DMA, the Danish governments’ efforts to ensure attractive framework conditions for the shipping industry “is currently yielding a very positive effect”. A recent example of this effort was the removal of the registration fee for ships in Danish registries, which the Danish Parliament adopted earlier this year.

As competition between the world’s shipping nations is becoming harder, Denmark has so far sealed its position as the world’s 12th largest register.
Minister of Business, Industry and Growth, Brian Mikkelsen, mentioned:
It is encouraging to see the Danish flag continuing its growth. Our political initiatives are having a positive effect, and we will continue the efforts to reduce administrative burdens, digitalize and improve the framework conditions and overall service for the industry.
