The Danish minister of economy and business, Brian Mikkelsen, has on behalf of the government presented a complete maritime strategy, which concerns all activities in connection with the sea – shipping, ports, fishery, tourism, exploration etc.

The strategy describes how the government will work so as to develop every single business area, and how the government will reduce the business areas’ influence on climate and environment.
The Danish Shipowners’ Association believes the strategy gives a general view of the bigger maritime initiatives, which the Danish authorities are working on or have planned to initiate in the near future.
An increased coordination between the authorities is a good idea, because it reduces the risk of different authorities’ initiatives working against each other.
The strategy emphasizes the continuation of the policy which the Danish authorities already follow – that is to seek international regulation of shipping as well as enforcement of the international laws.
