Danish Maritime Authority and Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center sign partnership agreement

The Danish Maritime Authority and Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping signed a knowledge partnership agreement today (22 April), as a formal recognition of their cooperation on the decarbonisation of shipping.

The partnership confirms the existing close relationship and strong collaboration between the two organizations which co-lead the Zero Emission Shipping Mission under Mission Innovation along with the Governments of the US and Norway and the Global Maritime Forum.

The two partners have now committed to extensive knowledge sharing as they work to accelerate the development and implementation of the future fuels and solutions needed to decarbonise shipping.

Commenting on the partnership agreement with the Danish Maritime Authority, Bo Cerup-Simonsen CEO of Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center said, “The Danish Maritime Authority has a clear ambition of creating quality shipping where growth and safety go hand in hand. This approach is critical to ensure a safe and just transition towards a decarbonized global maritime industry. We need standards, policies, and regulations to mature in the same pace as the technology develops and close collaboration between governments and industry is critical to achieve this.”

Director General of the Danish Maritime Authority, Andreas Nordseth stated, “New fuel types and technologies within decarbonisation call for new legislation, and the Danish Maritime Authority will contribute to push for international regulation that creates incentives for the production of renewable fuels and provides a level playing field for the industry.”
