Foreword by Peter Bjerregaard Director General Danish Shipowners’ Association

The global financial crisis, that affects Danish shipping as well as other international industries are far from over.

Danish Shipping

In spite of that, 2012 ended up being a year of record for Danish shipping. Net earnings were by no means satisfying, but the foreign exchange earnings for 2012 are expected to be around 195 billion DKK. Shipping will continue to be Denmark’s largest exporting industry. Danish shipping’s export earnings account for 16% of Denmark’s total exports and 5% of the total production in Denmark. The broader maritime cluster employs approximately 80,000 people which accounts for 3% of the employment in Denmark. These numbers illustrate that shipping and The Blue Denmark in general is important both on the political as well as economical agenda in Denmark.

At the same time more foreign shipping companies found their way to Denmark and the Danish flag. These positive facts and figures are not a coincidence. They are the result of a fruitful cooperation between the industry and the political level in Denmark, EU and IMO. During the last year, the Danish government in cooperation with representatives from The Blue Denmark has developed a strategic plan on how the whole maritime cluster in Denmark can provide economic growth and development in a time of crisis.

The initiatives in the growth plan have focus on developing and maintaining stable legal framework, on removing bureaucracy, on creating new jobs through better education and research, and on branding Denmark worldwide as the maritime core in Europe. On top of our basic framework, the tonnage tax and DIS, Danish International Ship Register, this growth initiative hopefully can help to enhance our ability to work our way through the crisis. 2012 was also the year, where we finally saw a drop in the rate of success for pirates in the Gulf of Aden and off the coast of Somalia. We interpret the lack of success as a result of a joint effort from all relevant stakeholders who suffers from the criminal activity. International military bodies, shipowners, UN and non-governmental organizations’ as well. But the work for a more sustainable solution to this problem must not stop. The Danish Shipowners’ Association finds it entirely necessary with an international military effort and the establishment of a local coastguard. The European Union should play a leading role and consider eliminating the pirates’ equipment such as boats, engines and fuel. Climate issues will remain at top of the agenda in many years to come. The task is to secure an international agreement that establishes a level playing field. Denmark has one of

the world’s most modern and environmentally friendly merchant fleets. But even though Danish shipowners’ over the last 5 years have reduced emission with 20 %, we still don’t have a global regulation that fulfills the Danish ambitions on the emission area. There are still considerable challenges in the international climate negotiations but progress is being made in both the UN’s maritime organization IMO and in EU. At the same time the Danish Shipping community is most worried by the economic consequences of the implementation of the IMOrules on sulphur emission and handling of ballast water. These new rules will mean several billion DKK investments for Danish Shipowners.

Danish Shipping

All in all we are pleased to note that politicians both on national and international level cooperates with the industry on creating the most efficient, stable and futureproof working climate, which makes it possible for Danish Shipowners to continue to be a Danish stronghold and as such, contribute massively to the Danish economy.

Foreword by Jenny N. Braat M a n a g i n g D i r e c t o r, M . S c E c o n o m i c s Danish Maritime

Danish Maritime is the meeting place for a growth industry. Danish maritime companies are competitive, and world leaders in many fields and technologies, and they are continually investing in smart growth and new technologies. Such firms thrive in an environment where enterprises have global contacts and global activities. Development and innovation often comes from people who are out there on the ships. For employees of companies operating globally, the whole world is their potential workplace. The Danish maritime industry exports most of its production and delivers some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most high-tech and environmental and climate friendly solutions. This position must be maintained and further developed for the benefit not only of Denmark, but for the improvements to shipping that this innovation brings. The maritime sector in Denmark employs around 80,000 people directly and another 35,000 people indirectly. The basis for these jobs is a strong international position. International developments are important to us. Currently we are awaiting the final ratification of the ballast water convention, and the resolution of the uncertainty concerning the dates of application. Many companies have invested in the development of solutions, but installations are lagging behind expectations. We expect the convention to come into force no later than 2014,

but for all concerned it would be desirable if experience is gained before the application become mandatory. The work on requirements for ships operating in the Arctic is something that has a high priority, since the rules must be in place before activities in these areas pick up. When new equipment and new methods are developed, it is a particular problem in the maritime sector to introduce them in the market place. For shipping, there are special safety and maintenance problems that encourage ship owners and operators to prefer wellproven equipment that has been used for some time, and for which there is ample experience. Equipment is often difficult or impossible to repair at sea, and ships therefore typically require more reliable equipment than similar uses on land would need. However, reliability is difficult to demonstrate without practical operation over a period of time. The result is that everyone wants to wait until someone else has invested in the new technology. But, it is difficult to obtain working experience with the first generation of new devices or methods unless someone installs and operates them. This has in some cases led to political pressure to delay a new requirement on the grounds that the technology is not mature. If such a delay were to materialize, then even fewer installations would follow and the necessary experience would never be gained. We would try to avoid

self-fulfilling prophesies of this kind, and such a scenario is best counteracted by implementing a set of rules or a clause which allows the first generations of equipment to be continually used, even if it turns out to not quite live up to later, stricter requirements. It is essential that those who invest early also benefit. Those who invest in subsequent generations of products, improved by the experiences of the first movers, should not have any additional benefits from delaying.

Danish Shipping

Lately we have experienced an increased public awareness of the maritime sector in Denmark and in the EU. Industrial production is necessary for innovation and product development. Businesses benefit from the practical production and feedback from installers and repairers here in Denmark to further develop their products. Danish companies can easily let parts of production take place abroad, and there can be many benefits. But the central parts of production are maintained in Denmark. As an association we participate in collaboration on official and commercial levels all over the world, particularly with the major shipbuilding countries in Asia. As one of Denmarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s core industries, we expect that maritime companies from outside and inside the country will continue to invest and expand in Denmark.

Foreword by Henrik Mørkholt Chairman Danish Marine Group

Danish Shipping

Pride in Top Performing Shipping, seamanship, maritime services and technology are historical trademarks of Denmark. And it has been for so long that today, high end performance within durability, competitive life-time costs, environmental considerations and improved efficiency are expected excellence, when the product is Danish. Of the 500 member companies in Danish Export Association, Danish Marine Group is the largest sector group with our 170 members. The maritime companies in Danish Marine Group take up the challenge of delivering the quality expected of Danish supply and services in the global market every day. This level of inherent expectations to top performance of maritime products and services from Denmark is a brand we are proud of!

Course Set for the Future One of the reasons for the high performance level is a strong and full range maritime cluster in Denmark. With a complete cluster of maritime expertise from market leading shipping companies, advanced training centres, environmental ship designs, to expertise within modern maritime and offshore energy R&D as well as high quality suppliers of marine and offshore equipment, Denmark offers a second to none know-how within this global industry. The proud brand is therefore partly due to our wholesome maritime clusters historically. In today’s world the bulk of newbuilding activities for conventional vessels has moved to Asia. This means that the Danish contribution to shipbuilding has grown stronger when it comes to designing, ordering and

equipping vessels. And when it comes to dockings, we have active yards delivering a very high level of quality repair and maintenance services in Denmark. All in all Denmark has a leading position in the global maritime community with a full range maritime cluster – a position which we are going to hold on to and develop in the future. In order to carry this legacy onwards we need to look beyond our own borders to continuously develop and supply products, services and innovation that exceed the standards. It is necessary because shipping and shipbuilding is no longer a local matter. If we want to continue setting the course for future maritime technology, services and shipping in general, this needs to be done in a global perspective. Development and Innovation Start by Talking On a practical level this boils down to dialogue. Meet, greet, discuss, negotiate, brainstorm, argue, shake hands and get to know one another. Globally that is. And in person! The members of Danish Marine Group already talk to the various actors within the industry face to face. These talks are necessary to ensure that we remain one of the leading actors within cutting edge maritime development and continue to point out the direction. Not only to customers buying our products, but to everybody – owners, operators, yards, designers, ports, brokers, maritime authorities, competitors and customers, as well as research institutions

and not least the next generation through universities, schools and maritime academies. As we see it, long term relationships between suppliers of maritime equipment and decision makers around the globe are the foundation of development and improvements. When Danish suppliers of maritime equipment and services travel the world, we meet partners, customers and designers in the name of dialogue. The dialogue and personal network create the dynamic environment in which innovation and business development happens.

In order to exceed expectations, firstly we need to know the expectations, then influence them and finally deliver more than expected. And then we start the process all over again. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the basis for innovation and long term relationships. On that note, we open the door and invite you in for a talk. We look forward to seeing you out there, in the marketplace.

Danish Shipping

How to Exceed Expectations The Danish Marine Group will continue to promote Denmark and Danish suppliers, who continue to bring development and innovation to the table, and we look forward to continue doing so in close cooperation with the international players in this global industry of shipping.

What’s Next? The maritime industry goes from cycle to cycle, living with uncertainty. This makes “What’s next?” a relevant question – and one that gets interesting responses. Expect it to be prominent during Nor-Shipping 2013. We began to ask this question during Nor-Shipping 2011, reflecting our theme “Next Generation Shipping”. The standing-room only audience at the Opening Conference listened attentively as industry heavyweights and rising stars shared their insights and visions for the future, creating very lively discussion. In 2013, we will continue the conversation, exploring the industry’s future via our conferences and the other valueadded events that complement the exhibition.

Danish Shipping

In 2013, we will continue the conversation, exploring the industry’s future via our conferences and the other valueadded events that complement the exhibition.

Offshore shipping plays an increasing role in the industry, as demonstrated by the great interest in Nor-Shipping’s first-ever Agenda Offshore conference, a meeting place for oil companies and the offshore shipowners and players on whom they depend. Networking across segments and generations Nor-Shipping is an established high-level networking arena, and we are keen to create new channels for sharing business insight so that our delegates have an unbeatable range of opportunities for professional networking and socializing. The exhibition and conference create a framework for invaluable meetings to take place, and we will continue to maximize this aspect of the event week, recognizing that the most important conversations don’t always happen in a meeting room.

Staying ahead The necessity to stay ahead of the “what’s next” curve is not just relevant for our stakeholders but also for Nor-Shipping itself.

We want no generation gaps at Nor-Shipping as we build our online community and use social media that strengthens the physical event and appeals to the younger generation. This increased online visibility complements our initiative to raise wider awareness of the industry. As shipowner Felix Tschudi said at the Oslo Maritime Week event, shipping is taken for granted, unless something goes wrong.

During our 50-year history, we have developed from a niche shipbuilding exhibition into a weeklong industrywide event with conferences, professional networking gatherings, countless other activities and the exhibition at the center of it all.

Attracting young talent is crucial for the maritime industry’s future. Our efforts towards this include Ocean Talent Camp, a city center-based offshoot of the main exhibition, with a mission to attract and engage young people to a career in shipping, as well as to promote the industry to the general public.

Our latest expansion is strengthening our conference program to include the offshore maritime segment. Norway, with the second largest offshore service vessel fleet in the world and expertise in deepwater, harsh environment oil drilling, is a natural location for such an event.

In its first year (then called Nor-Shipping Campus), nearly 10,000 people, from students and the media to politicians and maritime heavyweights, visited the event, which housed exhibitions by more than 40 representatives of Norway’s maritime cluster.

New initiatives Our aim in 2013 is both to improve on our successes and raise the bar by broadening Nor-Shipping. Many new initiatives are in the works.

Look to Norway While our visitors come from around 80 countries, the Norwegian maritime cluster’s strong presence at NorShipping is an attraction for our international delegates.

These include: “Innovation Park”, where small, innovative Norwegian companies with relevant solutions or products present themselves; “Venture”, a matchmaking arena for capital-hungry companies and investors that includes a central location at the exhibition; and Nor-Shipping Forum, where industry leaders meet with partners and competitors in a more intimate setting, with free and open discussion enabled by the confidentiality of Chatham House Rules.

Norway is home to the most complete maritime cluster in the world, with every part of the value chain represented. The result is unique multi-party collaboration, innovation and competence – all of which are on display at NorShipping.

Expanding our support of the industry, Nor-Shipping played a key role in establishing Oslo Maritime Week. Organized by the Norwegian maritime cluster for local and international peers, it focuses on diverse maritime services via hot-topic seminars and social events that encourage cross-industry networking.

CEO of I.M. Skaugen Morits Skaugen says, “To help NorShipping prosper is key for the whole community. I think that is why I believe so much in this (Oslo) Maritime Week concept. Having it in the leap years keeps the flame kindled.”

The future is maritime Our emphasis on the question “What’s next?” demonstrates that Nor-Shipping is oriented towards the future. While predicting the future may be impossible, we know that bringing the right people together and providing them with a dynamic networking venue makes things happen. Just ask Sevan Marine’s Arne Smedal and Teekay Corporation’s Peter Evensen who met during our 2011event week. They worked throughout the following summer on a business model that would help save Sevan, which was struggling with high debt. That autumn, Sevan announced an agreement for financial restructuring and industrial partnership with Teekay. We look forward to welcoming you to Nor-Shipping 2013.

Danish Shipping

Taking place every second year, Oslo Maritime Week alternates with Nor-Shipping. The synergies created by these events create a powerful momentum for raising the region’s international profile in the maritime industry. Thanks to positive response to 2012’s inaugural event, the next is set for May 2014.

Research was recently commissioned from Menon Business Economics to clarify the role of Oslo as compared to other leading maritime cities. It confirms that Oslo is one of the top five global maritime capitals, shoulder-to-shoulder with Singapore, London, Hamburg and Hong Kong.

Chapter 1:

A big Lilliput Often referred to by Danes as a ‘Lilliput nation’ due to its small size, Denmark in fact carries greater influence than one might expect for a small country, especially in shipping in which it transports some 10 per cent of world trade. With its 13.8 million DWT the Danish merchant fleet constitutes 3 per cent of the world fleet and makes it the 18th biggest in the world, according to the Danish Shipowners’ Association. In addition, Danish shipping companies own a significant number of ships under foreign flags, thus bringing the Danish-owned fleet up to more than 43 million DWT or eighth in the world ranking, only exceeded by the biggest industrial countries and the traditional shipping nation, Greece. The maritime cluster has great importance for growth in Denmark. The sector known as Blue Denmark directly employs around 80,000 people, while at the same time it also creates jobs, indirectly, in related industries, for about another 35,000. Danish maritime companies are together responsible for 24 per cent of Denmark’s total exports and they have overall production of just over DK287 billion. This corresponds to approximately 10 per cent of total production in Denmark. Danish equipment suppliers have their fingers in many pies all around the world.

Danish Shipping

The maritime traditions of this country of just five-and-a-half million go back to the Vikings. As passionate sailors, traders and raiders, the Danes were a people to be reckoned with. In the Middle Ages, the Kalmar Union brought all of Scandinavia together under Danish rule. In modern times, Denmark is known for its skills-based economy, a commitment to life-long learning, a generous welfare system, fairly egalitarian ideals and a sceptic approach to the European Union. It is part of the EU, but Brussels seems at times a fairly long way from Copenhagen.

The Danes rejected the euro as a national currency in a referendum in September 2000 and decided to keep the krone instead. Analysts say that Danes worry about losing political independence and national sovereignty and that outweighed any economic arguments about the benefits of joining the eurozone. Denmark’s euroscepticism put it at odds with many of its European partners seven years previously when Danish voters rejected the Maastricht Treaty on monetary union and a common European defence. Denmark really upset the apple cart – and no-one really saw it coming – and the country had to be granted opt-outs from these provisions before the treaty could be approved in 1993. Denmark in a way discovered a sense of national pride. It had found itself on the centre stage of international attention, even if for the wrong reasons in the eyes of many. Shortly after rejecting the Maastricht Treaty, Denmark sensationally beat Germany in the European Football Championship. Then foreign minister Uffe Elleman-Jensen rubbed salt in the wounds on his way to the first European Union summit meeting after victory over the Germans only 24

days before. Wearing a Denmark football scarf, he declared: “If you can’t join them, beat them!” The German government reportedly did not see the humour. A lengthy period of centre-right rule came to an end in 2011 when the Social Democrats formed a coalition government. Helle Thorning-Schmidt became Denmark’s first female prime minister after her centre-left alliance secured a narrow majority in parliament following elections in the September. Things that make Denmark famous – Fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen and statue of the Little Mermaid – which figures in one of them – at the entrance to the port of Copenhagen. – Kronborg castle, which is the location of William Shakespeare’s play, Hamlet.

– The spontaneous rescue of the Jewish population during World War II by ordinary Danes across to Sweden. – Rye bread open sandwiches, downed with snaps and pilsner. Some famous Danes in chronological order: – Tycho Brahe, astronomer: Measured the distance to Supernova, proving that even the furthest parts of the visible universe were dynamic. – Ole Römer, scientist: Measured the speed of light. – H.C. Ørsted, scientist: Discovered electromagnetism. – Søren Kierkegaard, Philosopher: One of the founders of existentialism. – Niels Bohr, scientist: Invented spherical model of the atom and made vital contributions to quantum physics. Worked actively for international control of nuclear weapons after World War II. Both he and his son were awarded the Nobel prize, 50 years apart. No immediate end to economic woes In its Economic Outlook report of November 2012, the OECD stated that the global economy is weakening again, and that the risk of a new major contraction could not be ruled out. However, the ongoing sovereign debt crisis indicates, the OECD suggested, that countries with strong institutions are enjoying market confidence beyond what would be justified by their fiscal policy performance alone. If downside risks materialise, the organisation said, a stronger response would be called for, including further quantitative easing.

The OECD provides the following social snapshot of Denmark: – 7.3 per cent of the Danish population was born outside Denmark. This is well below the OECD average of 11.7 per cent. – 75.7 per cent of Danes are employed, the fifth highest in the OECD and well above the OECD average of 66.1 per cent. – Denmark has the fourth lowest pensionable years for women in the OECD, 19.8 years, below the OECD average of 23.3 years. Years expected on the pension are also relatively low for men (16.4 years). Low Danish pensionable years are due to a relatively high retirement age in Denmark and a modest life expectancy by OECD standards. – At only 6.1 per cent of the population, Denmark has the second lowest relative income poverty rate in the OECD, well below the 11.1 per cent OECD average. Furthermore, only six per cent of Danes find it difficult or very difficult to live on their current income, well below the OECD average of 24 per cent. – 89 per cent of Danes express a high level of trust in others, the highest in the OECD and much more than the 59 per cent OECD average. – 75 per cent of Danes believe that their communities are tolerant of migrants, ethnic minorities and gays and lesbians, well above the OECD average of 61 per cent, but short of the top figure of 84 per cent in Canada.

Chapter 2:

Recognised worldwide You cannot miss the signs of Denmark’s vast maritime influence, no matter which corner of the world you might be visiting. It could be a Maersk container on the back of a truck, a Lauritzen bulk carrier leaving a Far Eastern port, or a Norden tanker carrying oil from the Middle East. You will spot the distinctive APM Terminals crane on many a quayside. If you take a ferry in Europe, you may notice safety equipment on board from Viking Life-Saving Equipment. Even foreign-owned ships are often equipped with Danish components such as communications and engine room gear. The mighty AP Moller-Maersk operates its own terminals worldwide. Its 1,300-odd ships are a regular sight at many major ports, each with the characteristic blue colour and sporting the seven-pointed star. Denmark’s major shipowners generally punch well above the weight of a small country with their global operations. Ships from TORM A/S and J Lauritzen are a familiar sight at major world ports, while closer to home DFDS is a major and rapidly expanding player in the North Sea, English Channel and Baltic ferry markets. Smaller Danish players have often found their own specialised niche.

Danish Shipping

Less obvious to the unknowing is the sizeable presence of Danish maritime equipment suppliers. MAN Diesel might be a familiar name, but the likes of Lyngsø Marine, Gertsen & Olufsen and Rockwool may be less so – especially as their products and services are often tucked away out of sight inside a ship, doing their job to make shipping safe, more efficient or more comfortable. Globalised players in a global market Danish shipping companies in many cases no longer talk of themselves as Danish players in a global market. Increasingly, the bigger players are regarding themselves as globalised players in a global market. This is testimony to the expansion and rise of Danish shipping, but also a source of considerable tension with the Danish trade unions. They are increasingly complaining that their support for the introduction of the Danish international shipping register, DIS, in 1989 was based on a hope that jobs and training places for Danish seamen would be safeguarded. They feel let down. The Danish seafarer has all but disappeared from DIS vessels. In the past couple of years, officers have been partially replaced by cheaper foreign ones. New legislation has further relaxed the requirement for Danish vessels to be captained by a Dane or national of the European Economic Area. This is not what the unions had foreseen. However, owners point out that in the face of global competition, their cost base needs to be competitive and the talent pool broad. Danish shipowners operate in most major trades, including container shipping, tankers, dry cargo and refrigerated cargo. They also are well-represented in specialised segments such

as salvage and offshore supply, animal transportation and special project cargo carriers. In a nation made up of many islands, local ferry services are also an essential lifeline to local communities. There are so many of them they have their own industry association. The smaller short sea coaster fleet is in a different league to the big owners, where making a living is often hard and tonnage is sometimes far from modern.

Danish flavour The rise of Korea and China as shipbuilding nations – with Danish shipowners ordering there in droves as well – has not destroyed the fortunes of Danish equipment suppliers. Industry body Danish Maritime says its members, who work in development, production and service for the maritime sector, are very innovative and competitive and supply shipyards in Asia, Europe and elsewhere. They enjoy a good reputation on the global market thanks to their high-tech solutions. Many companies have subsidiaries or sales offices abroad. Danish equipment exports contribute a lion’s share to the national totals. Danish Maritime notes that productivity in the Danish shipbuilding industry has increased by an average of around 4.5 per cent annually over the past 20 years, and more so over the last five years. Denmark specializes in building high-technology vessels for particular tasks, such as LNG and LPG carriers, diving ships, cable-laying ships, dredgers and ice-breakers. Danish

and other European shipbuilders have led the development of ships like VLCCs, post Panamax containerships and cruisers, hatch-coverless containerships and heavy lift vessels. The Danish Marine Group is a member of the Danish Export Association, and represents some 160 Danish companies of all sizes and specialities, including naval architects, consultancy firms, equipment manufacturers, ship engine builders, as well as suppliers of spare parts and services. Some examples of equipment are piping and fittings, cargo handling equipment, ropes, cables and electrical installations. The Danish Marine Group members are engaged in export drives and thus join international trade missions aimed at maritime markets, as well as exhibitions. A nation of many ports Denmark has a large number of ports for a small country – 69 of them are members of the Danish Ports Association. Many of them are small pleasure boating harbours or fishing ports, but the number is testimony to the strong maritime tradition of

Danish Shipping 19

the country and to the fact that as a nation of islands the local port or harbour is a key part of local society. Between 1990 and 2012, Danish Ports registered 143 ports, some of them on small islands served by a single ferry. The big ports are in Esbjerg and Aalborg (by area), while Fredericia and Århus have substantial cargo volume. Copenhagen has become one of the leading cruise destinations in Europe and attracts a large number of Baltic cruise vessels right into the heart of the city. Statistics Denmark reports that freight volume through Danish ports has increased again after a couple of years of no growth. Over the full year of 2011, volumes through all ports were up by more than 6 per cent, a development the organisation calls “light at the end of the tunnel”. Most activity was to and from non-European destinations.

In a growth strategy, published in 2006, the Danish Ministry of Economic and Business Affairs stated that innovation is seen as an important driver for greater interaction. “For many maritime enterprises, user-driven innovation is the dominant element. Here, it is the dialogue between suppliers and the customer that contributes to the development of processes and products. In other areas, emphasis is on research-driven innovation – where research is the focal point. “There are many examples of these types of innovation, but there is a need for further enhancement. Cluster enterprises increasingly highlight the need to develop the right skills, if they are to continue to be able to operate from Denmark. This is necessary in order to be able to manage the innovation processes. A broad range of enterprises is encompassed by the cluster industries. This applies in terms both of size and representation within the various industry segments, and an export focus is an important factor. With regard to the medium and large enterprises, in addition to sales and production abroad, establishment of global service schemes are often a prerequisite for market participation. Several Danish maritime enterprises are seen as leaders within their area.”

An innovative industry For a small country of five-and-a-half million inhabitants, Denmark has achieved a remarkable global ranking as a maritime nation. Why is this? Jacob Clasen, Head of Division in the Trade and Shipping Policy department at the Danish Shipowners’ Association, says one reason for Denmark’s big market share is the presence of “some clever shipowners”. However, Denmark also has the right framework conditions. “We have authorities and policies after which, seen from here in a situation of international competition, the framework

has been set,” he says. “And it’s a good combination, we’ve had the opportunity to expand. The authorities have not put barriers in the way. It’s still more expensive to operate a shipping company in Denmark than in other places, but it’s a good platform for shipowners.”

Good and green One sign of hope for Danish suppliers of maritime equipment is that demand remains strong for their products and services. In the past, when the Danish shipbuilding industry was much bigger, a big customer base was on their doorstep. Although the standard ships of today are largely built in South Korea and China, Danish equipment suppliers are still very much in demand, albeit from foreign countries to a greater extent than before. Often nowadays they are very often first choice to supply parts for these southeast Asian shipyards. The industry body, Danish Maritime, says Danish maritime equipment is “renowned for its high quality and green credentials”. But it noted in its 2011 annual report how Denmark has lost a third of its industrial workers in the past 20 years – jobs that have not been entirely replaced by knowledge-based jobs. It sounded a warning to government that if Denmark’s industrial skills are lost, it would only be “a question of time” before innovation and competitiveness follow suit. Early in 2011 shipping giant Maersk placed an order for 10 ‘Triple E’ high capacity container vessels. Although the shipyard chosen is in Korea, many of the companies supplying components will “most probably” be Danish, according to Danish Maritime. In the same way, while Norden has two new product tankers being built at the GSI yard in China, Danish companies are expected to be well represented on the suppliers list for these vessels. Danish Maritime explained the reason in this way: “Not because the Danish company has a nationalistic inspired love of Danish sub-contractors, but because Danish maritime suppliers are simply leaders in their field. That includes factors such as quality, climate and environment.” Shipbuilding The proportion of ships manufactured in Europe fell from 32% in 1997 to a mere 9% in 2011, according to Danish Ship Finance. After a period of low orders for new ships, the market showed signs of upturn and growing optimism in 2010. Ten merchant ships totalling 463,300 GT were delivered by Danish shipyards, up from nine in 2009 (439,800 GT). Danish shipowners have a major newbuilding programme, the value of which stood at close to DKK 52 million, as of October 2012. Denmark has one

of the world’s youngest fleets at an average of 7.9 years, almost three years younger than the world average of 9.5 years. The closure of AP Moller-Maersk’s Odense Steel Shipyard in February 2012 will mean a dip in the figures in the future. Odense, known as Lindø, was the biggest shipyard in Denmark and built all kinds of vessels, including the big post-Panamax container ships. Despite heavy investment in high-tech production methods, including robot-controlled machinery, it was unable to compete with Far Eastern rivals that have a lower cost base, and even its parent company was ordering ships elsewhere. AP Moller-Maersk has made the facilities into a new industrial park, which now houses a large number of companies from the offshore sector. However, the Fayard ship repair yard, which moved in 2011 to the Lindø industrial park, has made investments totalling close to DKK 200 million. Its new site, where 450 people are employed on 43,600 sq m, means it can dock ships up to 300 m long and 45 m wide. At its former site, the maximum dimensions were 200 m x 30 m. At completion, the new site will have four modern dry docks, a repair berth and 8,000 sq m of construction and assembly space. Since its move, Fayard has already worked on a large number of ships, notably several types of offshore vessels, including a wind farm installation vessel and jack-up rigs. The yard carries out a lot of statutory classification survey work and will start off 2013 with a lengthy five-year classification survey refurbishment programme on the Borgholm Dolphin semi-submersible drilling rig. Managing Director Thomas Andersen had earlier outlined his ideas for growth at a maritime conference in November 2011. He said then that Fayard’s turnover in 2010-11 was expected to total DKK 600 million. (Fayard A/S is a privately owned company and does not make its results public.) But in terms of the national economy, what Denmark needed, he argued, were fewer holidays, lower wages, lower taxes, a longer working week and more education and training. He said if Denmark loses manufacturing industry, research, service and knowledge technology will also move abroad. This is already happening, he warned.

Chapter 3:

Who’s who An organised industry Danish shipowners are gathered in three main associations, the largest and oldest of which is the Danish Shipowners’ Association. It was established in 1884 and speaks on behalf of the shipping industry in Denmark at home and abroad. The 39 shipowning companies that are full members of the Danish Shipowners’ Association, and the 20 associated members, represent 95 per cent of Danish tonnage. It is also an employers’ organisation and negotiates agreements with the seamen’s unions and handles all matters concerning employment, as well as safety and training within the shipping and offshore industry. The administration of Danish associations for short sea shipping and ferry services – the Shipowners’ Association of 2010 (45 members) and the nine-member Danish Car Ferry Association – has also been incorporated into the Danish Shipowners’ Association.

Danish Shipping

On the other side of the fence are the maritime trade unions. 3F (United Federation of Danish Workers) is the largest, while Danish Maritime Officers is Denmark’s largest organisation for masters, mates, and other officers. The Danish Engineers’ Association is a union for engineers and dual-purpose officers, though 80 per cent of its members are land-based. Many work in non-maritime jobs. Finally, catering officers are organised as a section of the Dansk Metal metalworkers’ union after merging with its seafarers’ section to form the Danish Metal Workers - Maritime Section. The seafarers’ section of Dansk Metal also represented ratings before its merger with the catering officers. Any Who’s Who listing should include the Maritime Development Centre of Europe, which acts as a cluster grouping to promote maritime knowledge and research. BIMCO, the Baltic and International Maritime Council, is the largest of the international shipping associations and represents shipowners controlling around 65 per cent of the world’s tonnage. It has members in more than 120 countries. While BIMCO is an international organisation, it is headquartered just outside Copenhagen, a testimony to Denmark’s strong maritime traditions. It is staffed to a large extent by Danes. As part of its commitment to promoting the development and application of global regulatory instruments, BIMCO is accredited as a nongovernmental organisation (NGO) with all relevant United Nations bodies. The association maintains a close dialogue with governments and diplomatic representations around the world. These include maritime administrations, regulatory institutions and other stakeholders within the European Union, the United States and Asia. Tanker pool operators While Copenhagen is best known as home to AP Moller-Maersk, the city has built a considerable hub of expertise and critical mass in tanker pools and dry bulk operations. It is regarded as

a global home for tanker pools, with affiliates or subsidiaries abroad in countries such as Singapore. A tanker pool is what it says: a pool of tankers contributed by different owners or operators in order to achieve better economies of scale and operational efficiencies.

A relative newcomer is Hafnia Management, which was set up in 2010 and recruited heavily among ex-TORM executives, as well as people with backgrounds at J Lauritzen, Maersk and Norden. Hafnia does not own any tankers itself but operates two pools, one out of Denmark and one out of Singapore, on behalf of its member companies, which include Lauritzen Tankers, Rederi AB Gotland, Nordic Tankers, LGR di Navigazione, Kirk Kapital and Marinvest. www.hafniatankers.com Copenhagen-based Nordic Tankers aims to be “the ideal platform” for consolidation of the tanker market in the chemical tanker segment between 3,500–25,000 dwt. In January 2010, Clipper took a 31 per cent shareholding in the company in exchange for contributing chemical tankers with an average age of just six years. At the same time, Nordic took on 120 Clipper employees and was thus transformed into a full service shipping company with one of the largest chemical carrier fleets in the world. However, in March 2012, Nordic divested

its chemical tanker activities, including the organisation, to Triton, a European investment company. And as from May 2012, herning shipping was also brought into the same ownership, making a total of close to 130 chemical tankers operating under the Nordic Tankers name. At the time of the sale to Triton, Nordic said that it had faced a difficult situation due to the economic crisis and the prevailing freight market conditions which had made a recapitalisation and refinancing necessary. www.nordictankers.com TORM A/S is a major player in the international tanker and bulker market and is perhaps best known as a pool operator. It has battled with financial difficulties and at the time of writing had recently completed a second restructuring agreement, which CEO Jacob Meldgaard said would enable the company “to become cash flow positive even at the current rate levels”. www.torm.dk

DS Norden A/S is also a major player in the international tanker and bulker market. Unlike TORM, which specialises in pools of tankers, Norden is a specialist in tramp shipping in the dry cargo and tanker sectors. www.ds-norden.com DFDS Seaways is the shipping division of DFDS A/S. It is a fastexpanding ferry company, focused on the Baltic and North Sea. It operates 50 passenger and freight vessels, and a mixture of them (ro-pax) on 25 shipping routes. www.dfds.com J Lauritzen A/S was once famous for its reefer vessels, but it has since left that sector and now focuses on bulk, gas and product tankers, as well as offshore. www.j-l.com Players supplying the Danish maritime industry include:

Chapter 4:

AP Moller-Maersk No book on Danish shipping would be complete without special mention of the biggest name of them all, AP Moller-Maersk. The turnover of the AP Moller-Maersk group makes up 60 per cent of the Danish shipowning sector, and often sets the pace and trend in the market. The parent group is structured as a conglomerate, comprising distinct companies active in a variety of sectors including oil and gas exploration, retailing, container manufacture, logistics and shipping. It is in shipping where it really stands out, owning Maersk Line, the biggest container line in the world. It is also involved in other shipping segments, including tankers, offshore supply, towage and salvage, and recently sold its LNG arm. Maersk employs 117,000 people and has offices in around 130 countries. This is remarkable for a company that is headquartered in a small country of 5.6 million people and where the norm is small companies, not big world leaders. The company has modernised itself since its inception, though the influence of the extended Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller family remains substantial and firm. The AP Møller and Chastine McKinney Møller Foundation, which was established by company founder Arnold Peter Møller in 1953, has a majority of votes in the parent company, thus ensuring the family’s leading role.

Danish Shipping

Maersk is an important player in world shipping due to its sheer size and clout. It is often a pioneer to whom others look for inspiration, whether it is in terms of its cost-cutting and operating improvement measures, bold investments in big ships, introducing slow steaming to cut capacity or taking laidup tonnage out of service. Loved and loathed for its influence, it is nevertheless an organisation that cannot be ignored.

The conglomerate jigsaw Container shipping and related activities – Maersk Line – the world’s largest container shipping company, with a fleet comprising 189 vessels and 3.8 TEU million. It carries 15 per cent of seaborne containers. – Safmarine – container transport specialising in cargoes to and from Africa, the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent with 64 vessels, owned and chartered. – Damco – major provider of freight forwarding and supply chain management. – Maersk Line, Limited – US-based subsidiary which manages a fleet of US-flagged vessels. – MCC Transport – delivering containerised cargo to key IntraAsian ports. – Container Inland Services – trucking, depots, container sales and equipment repair. – Maersk Container Industry – container manufacture in China, Denmark and the UK. – APM Terminals – container terminals and related activities in 63 ports and terminals in 40 countries.

Tankers, offshore and other shipping activities – Maersk Tankers – large crude oil carriers, product tankers and gas carriers, with 172 vessels. – Maersk Drilling & Maersk FPSOs – drilling rigs and floating production units, with a total of four vessels. – Maersk Supply Service – over 67 vessels providing towage of drilling rigs and platforms as well as supply service to the offshore industry. – Svitzer – a total of 184 vessels operating in more than 35 countries in towage, salvage and offshore support.

Oil and gas Maersk Oil produces more than 625,000 barrels of oil equivalent (includes oil, gas and condensate) per day in the Danish and British parts of the North Sea, offshore Qatar, Algeria and Kazakhstan. Also participates in exploration activities in the North Sea (Denmark, UK and Norway), North Africa (Algeria), West Africa (Angola), the Middle East (Qatar and Oman), Brazil and the US Gulf of Mexico. Retail activities Dansk Supermarket Group owns supermarkets in Denmark, Germany, UK, Poland and Sweden. Other – Star Air – 11 Boeing 767 cargo aircraft, primarily engaged in long-term contract flying for United Parcel Service (UPS) in Europe. – Danske Bank – Maersk owns a 22.84 per cent stake in one of the biggest banks in Scandinavia.

World’s biggest container vessels Maersk Line has taken a world lead when it comes to having big ships. First it did it with the Emma Maersk container vessel series, at 15,500 TEU then the biggest in the world. It has done it again with its current order for 20 “Triple-E” vessels, originally 10 plus an option on another 10. Some said the option for a further 10 was unlikely to be exercised, but Maersk went ahead and exercised its option in June 2011. These ships will come in at 18,000 TEU and their original price tag for 20 was $3.8bn. With container volumes badly affected by the downturn of 2008-09 and much of the container fleet laid up or consigned to slow steaming, not many observers would have anticipated such a bold move. They will be built at Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co. Maersk is calling them “the world’s largest and most efficient container vessels”. The ships will offer Economies of scale, Energy efficiency, and Environmental improvements (hence the name) that it expects to become industry benchmarks. Such massive ships are already making an impact – ports, repair yards and other service providers are making adjustments to cope.

The Triple-E will be 16 per cent bigger than the Emma Maersk, currently the biggest container ship in the world. The ships will help the company meet the projected growth of 5 to 8 per cent in the Asia to Europe trade over the next four years. “We believe the Triple-E ships, with their record capacity and energy efficiency will enable us to deliver on the commercial and environmental expectations of our customers and also give us a significant competitive advantage in the market,” said Maersk Line CEO Eivind Kolding, speaking at the signing ceremony for the order for the second 10 ships.

Danish Shipping

The first 10 vessels will be delivered in 2013 and 2014; the second 10 vessels are scheduled for delivery in 2014 and 2015. Maersk’s order for the second 10 came with a further option

(deadline was end-February 2012) for a third tranche of 10 – which would have made 30 in total – but the company always said it was unlikely to exercise this. The investment is a distant echo of events in 2009 when Maersk and others were laying up tonnage and walking away from market share as cash flow dried up. Maersk management talked about switching investment focus away from container shipping. And now, CEO Nils Smedegaard Andersen has committed Maersk Line to reducing its capacity through another round of slow steaming and raised shipping rates to combat sluggish global trade. The Maersk unit had already cut capacity by 9 per cent at the start of 2012 on its Asia-Europe routes to boost rates, mainly through slow steaming.

Smedegaard Andersen said Maersk expects global seaborne freight demand to rise by 4 per cent this year and between 5 and 7 per cent over the next few years. Maersk Line is sticking with its target of moderate net profit for the year, he said, following its $602 million loss in 2011. Responding to criticism that the earlier capacity cuts by Maersk Line had caused competitors to do the same, producing rate rises throughout the industry in the first half of 2012, he said he did not anticipate another price war. “The industry is very well aware that a rate war is no solution to declining volumes and excess capacity. It will only make it worse,” he said. “We, at least, will seek to stabilise rates.”

Chapter 5:

Ferries form a lifeline In a small nation comprising the Jutland peninsula and 406 named islands, 75 of which are inhabited, it is little wonder that ferry services have historically played an essential role. Although many island communities are less dependent on the local ferry than they once were thanks to bridges and tunnels, the network of ferries remains an important element in Denmark’s transport network. This is reflected in the relatively large number of ferry companies for a small population. There are now some 30 bridges and tunnels connecting landmasses in Denmark. This includes the Øresund rail/road fixed link between Denmark and Sweden, the biggest foreign destination for Danish ferries. A major 19-kilometre bridge is planned to connect Denmark and Germany across the Fehmarn Belt, with construction due to be completed in 2020. Despite this, Denmark very much remains interconnected with ferries. The maritime history of Denmark is partly based on ferries sailing between the islands.

Danish Shipping

An interesting example is the ferry route between Assens and Aarøsund. For over 700 years, it formed one of the important postal routes between Hamburg and Copenhagen. It was used by royalty and beggars, tradesmen and soldiers alike. Between 1920 and 1972 ferry company A/S Lillebelts-Overfarten carried thousands of passengers, cars, live pigs and tonnes of vegetables over the stretch of water known as the Little Belt which separates the islands of Funen and Jutland peninsula. For over half a century, the company operated each way several times a day in the face of adversity: competition from bridges and other ferry operators, mined waters and rising operating costs. Not only was it a means of transport, it also connected local communities. Ferries mean economic activity The ferry is more than a means of transport. As users of local ports, they are also contributors to economic activity and growth. They generate employment in and around the ports. According to the Danish Car Ferry Owners’ Association, more than 95 per cent of ship calls in Danish ports have for many years been by ferries. In 2010 this figure rose to 96 per cent as the number of freight vessels calling dipped in line with falling economic activity. In 2010 there were 520,000 vessel calls in the Danish ports to (un)load freight or passengers, but the association reported a 7,000 decline in 2011. The railways are no longer users of ferries to cross from island to island – much faster bridge/tunnel fixed links have put paid to that. Ferry travel to Sweden held up well, while to other destinations passenger volumes were unaltered or fell and routes were

closed. There are five ferry routes between Denmark and Sweden, with 11 million passengers carried in 2011, an improvement of more than 12 per cent from 2010. With the exception of the Øresund routes – where the fixed link across the Øresund means it now takes a mere 20 minutes or so to travel from central Copenhagen to Malmö in Sweden by train – Swedish passengers seem to be returning to ferry travel.

Going south to Germany are four ferry routes, which together carried 7.8 million passengers in 2011, not least on the key Rødby-Puttgarden and Gedser-Rostock routes. There was a 3.7 per cent dip in transport in 2011 from the year before. Norway is also a destination from Denmark with a total of five routes which carried 3.4 million passengers in 2011, unchanged from 2010. The Danish Car Ferry Owners’ Association notes that the UK ferry service was affected by strong competition from low price airlines. It is now served only by DFDS’ Esbjerg-Harwich route, where in 2011 passenger numbers were down by 9.6 per cent. Similarly, there is now only one ferry route to Poland from Denmark, and only one route to the Faeroes. In all, the international ferry routes have seen a slight decline in passenger kilometres. This slipped to 1.48 billion km in 2011 from the 1.5 billion km in 2010. This contrasts with 1.8 billion a few years ago, before the financial crisis set in. Domestic ferry routes remain firm largely by necessity. Around 9.3

million passengers were carried on domestic routes in 2011, a decrease from 10 million in 2010. Small Danish islands are served by 28 ferry routes and companies that are gathered in an association. The larger islands of Ærø, Samsø, Læsø and Fanø are served by their own ferry company. The Car Ferry Owners’ Association states that financial crisis has had little effect on domestic traffic, which it believes bottomed out in 2010. The local ferry is often a vital lifeline to some islands for the transport of goods as well as people. There are 174 passenger ferries registered in the domestic or international ship registers, according to the association, and these represent a good 18 per cent of the total number of merchant vessels in the two registers. The biggest players in the domestic Danish ferry market are Scandlines, Mols-Linien and Danske Færger.

Chapter 6:

A land of know-how As Denmark is such a high-cost country, the Danes do not bother trying to compete with countries that can never be beaten on cost. Instead, the Danes strive to beat others on the basis of their knowledge and expertise. The country stands out in its commitment to ongoing training and education. This is from the youngest to the oldest and is ingrained in the national consciousness. In terms of shipping, Denmark has developed as a centre of knowledge and research. A leading centre of expertise is Force Technology, located near Copenhagen. The maritime sector is one of its key areas of research. It works on designing and testing ships, offshore structures such as oil rigs and maritime facilities. It has towing tank and wind tunnel facilities, so it can expose exact models of different types of ship and oil rigs to wave and wind actions. The results are used to enhance ship design.

Danish Shipping

Simulators are another area of expertise. Force Technology develops, designs, installs and sells maritime simulators worldwide. It hosts a specialised tugboat simulator, which it built in partnership with Svitzer, the Copenhagen-based global towage and salvage operator. When the simulator was inaugurated in 2005, that the simulator met several objectives, including developing best practice for safe operations and encouraging masters to learn from each other’s’ experiences of doing things differently in other countries and ports. By training on a simulator, masters can go beyond their comfort zone and make mistakes from which they can learn – and mistakes that do not result in major costly damage or harm human life. The simulator is also designed to help the company refine the designs of its tugboats and be a facility Svitzer’s customers could learn from. The simulator was developed jointly by Svitzer and Force Technology, which won the contract against international competition. Force houses a number of maritime simulators in Lyngby and is a recognised international expert in its field. The simulator is unique in that it is specially designed for tugs and is modelled on Svitzer’s M-class tugs. There are only a few such simulators in the world, and Svitzer naturally regards it as the best. The bridge of the tug is designed with a 360-degree panoramic view of the port. Many port images have been built in. One simulated scenario is a tug plus three others ‘towing’ an LNG vessel in to berth in Fredericia, Denmark’s major destination for oil tankers; it had lost control over its rudder. The action of the waves can leave the officer at the helm actually feeling seasick.

It takes 10–15 engineers at Force to develop the simulator software. To create a new port or a new ship, it takes about a fortnight.

Other simulators built by Force have included an advanced maritime training centre to help beat terrorist attacks on vessels. It also builds advanced maritime software solutions. Intelligent GPS to enhance navigation safety In January 2012, the Danish Maritime Authority presented an innovation in the form of an intelligent GPS system for ships and “several other advances” to enhance the safety of navigation. It led a wide number of partners on the so-called ‘EfficienSea’ project. One of the most significant project results is e-Navigation – a new system to aid safe navigation world-wide. Navigation officers will have at their disposal a simpler and more modern way of getting the ship safely into port. For example, a kind of intelligent GPS system for ships will feature. It will present only the necessary information to the navigation officer, and certain tasks will be automated, leaving

the navigation officer to focus entirely on navigating the ship. Director General of the Danish Maritime Authority, Andreas Nordseth, said at the launch: “Many shipping nations have paid much attention to e-Navigation. And rightly so. The work creating a system for safer navigation will have a positive impact on safety at sea in the future and will, within a number of years, be something that is widely spread to quite a lot of ships. I also believe that we can use the results for the benefit of Danish maritime businesses, which can further develop the system and thus create an entirely new position of strength as international suppliers of marine equipment.” He added that during the work, many good results had come from e-Navigation, and the International Maritime Organization expressed interest in making e-Navigation mandatory on ships in the future.

Chapter 7:

Green credentials In a country that has long been associated with environmental protection – Denmark is an international leader in wind energy, for example – it is natural that Danish shipping is keen to mark itself as a guardian of the planet. While some of the initiatives, for example slow steaming, are as much about saving money as saving the planet, others are definitely about reducing the harmful impact that industrial transport can have on the environment. Some of the initiatives are a result of international regulations and would have happened anyway. The sharp reduction of sulphur in bunkers is such an example. MARPOL regulation (Annex VI) from the International Maritime Organization (IMO) stipulates that from 2015 ship emissions may contain no more than 0.1 per cent sulphur in sensitive emission control areas (ECAs). Such areas include waters around Denmark, the North Sea and Baltic Sea. The change is being introduced in steps, initially requiring ships to use fuel oil with a sulphur content of less than 3.5 per cent, and 1 per cent or less in ECAs. Deliveries of fuel oil must come with written documentation and a sealed sample to prove that it meets these requirements. From the end of 2007, the permitted sulphur content of gas oil for vessels calling in EU ports was cut to 0.1 per cent from 0.2 per cent.

Danish Shipping

Under the terms of an EU Directive passed in December 2012, EU member states have until 17 April 2014 to amend their laws regulating marine fuels. Sulphur content is to be “phased down” to 0.5 per cent before January 2020 for shipping outside the ECAs. The 0.1 per cent limit for the Baltic Sea and North Sea, including the English Channel, will take effect from 2015 onwards.

The Danish Car Ferry Owners’ Association is critical of the IMO’s analysis, which it says is based on a presumption that there is no alternative to shipping by sea. It also says the IMO is wrong to make a demand that would if implemented in 2020 lead to an increase in fuel costs. The short sea shipping fleet, which operates in ECAs, would be hard hit by the changes. Here, land transport is a real alternative to shipping, even if it means greater distances and more fuel consumption per transported tonne (which in turn increases carbon dioxide emissions). The association has calculated that the requirement for 0.1 per cent sulphur content, which comes in from 2015, could push up average fuel costs by 50 per cent. “The IMO’s decision came as a shock for short sea shipping because fuel costs are significantly higher when you switch from a heavy oil with a sulphur content of 0.5 per cent to a distilled product such as gas oil with 0.1 per cent sulphur content,” it has stated, “and no time was allowed to develop solutions that could offset the serious increases in operating costs.”

The Danes are thus adding their voice to the Brussels-based European Community Shipowners’ Associations, which has also raised objections. Shipping companies are complaining. But as they have no choice but to comply, they are being creative in getting on and dealing with it. The Danish Shipowners’ Association, representing owners involved in deep sea shipping, says that Danish shipping companies are “working, investing and innovating in a race against the clock to satisfy the international requirement of only emitting 0.1 % sulphur by 2015.” The organisation recognises

that the ambition to secure minimal sulphur emissions is positive, but identifies as a concern the fact that the necessary technical solutions have not yet been developed. It is therefore working with what it calls a “toolbox” of solutions, for example natural gas as an alternative fuel, scrubbers, etc. It has called on the EU to consider allowing member states to issue strictly limited transitional measures for specific routes or vessels strongly affected by the lower sulphur limits. It suggests that limiting these measures to a restricted category of ships should have little to no health or environmental consequences. The shipowners’ body cites the Ballast Water Management Convention (which includes a ban on discharging untreated ballast water) as an example of how expensive “ambitious environmental targets” can be for shipping companies, “without necessarily having significant environmental benefits.” It notes that a study by the Danish Partnership on Ballast Water has suggested that the Baltic Sea can be divided into eight areas categorised as the “same location”, thus enabling exemption of loading and unloading of the same ballast water untreated within those areas because of low risk. The shipowners go further and recommend that “large parts of regional trade in the rest of Europe” should also be exempted from the requirement to treat of ballast water, following “conventional provisions on risk assessment”.

Ferry company DFDS, which operates passenger and freight ferries in the Baltic Sea, English Channel and North Sea, stands to be particularly hard hit by the new, more stringent environmental requirements. However, it is in the forefront of testing new energy efficient, and thus emissions reducing, technology. DFDS reports that the scrubber installed as part of a pilot trial on DFDS ferry Ficaria Seaways has reduced sulphur emissions by more than 90 per cent, while 70 per cent of particulate matter has been removed. The scrubber, developed by Alfa Laval, Aalborg, in partnership with MAN Diesel, was fitted in July 2009 and is claimed to be the biggest in the world to be installed on a ship. With this technology, Ficaria Seaways now complies with the stricter requirements for sulphur emissions that are expected to enter into force in 2015, according to DFDS. The scrubber works like a shower: water washes particles from the exhaust gases and the emissions contain far less sulphur. DFDS claims such a system can entirely remove sulphur from emissions when using a closed fresh water system, and up to 95 per cent when using a salt water system. The salt water is discharged back into the sea.

However, according to a survey by Interferry, this technology can only be used on 40 per cent of the ships sailing the Baltic Sea and the North Sea, and because the scrubber costs around DKK 30–40 million to install, it is a costly option for shipping companies. So it is no miracle cure, the Shipowners’ Association points out. Another new development aiming at improving both operational efficiency and saving energy is the fitting of new propeller blades. DFDS is also one of the main movers behind this initiative, as is Maersk. DFDS says the new design can save up to 13 per cent of a vessel’s oil consumption, thus also reducing its carbon emissions. The DFDS cruise ferry Pearl Seaways, operating on the Copenhagen–Oslo service, has been fitted with the new blades on its two propellers together with a bulb on the rudder. The company says measurements show oil savings of as much as 12.5 per cent against the previous year, and that it will work hard to improve this.

Maersk’s new giant container ships of the Triple E class are all to be fitted with two four-bladed propellers rather than one large six-bladed propeller. Maersk says that research carried out at Maersk Maritime Technology has concluded that this will be more energy efficient. Maersk says these ships will produce

20 per cent less CO2 per container moved than Maersk’s current largest vessel Emma Maersk produces, and 50 per cent less than the industry average in the Asia-Europe trade. In addition, it claims they will require around 35 per cent less fuel per container than the 13,100 TEU vessels being delivered to other container shipping lines over the next few years, also for the Asia-Europe service. ‘First in the world with a climate charter’ The Danish Shipowners’ Association participates in the environmental work of the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change, the IMO and the EU. It is keen to see global rather than regional adoption of any change, as most shipping activity takes place outside European waters. It claims to be the first shipowners’ association in the world to adopt a climate charter. It has an environmental policy with which member shipping companies are required to comply, while their ships are among the most modern and energy efficient in the world, according to the organisation. It states in its 2012 Annual Logbook report that it is “perhaps the only shipowners’ association in the world” to publish data every year on the total oil consumption and the size of the fleet its members operate. The ratio between the two figures gives an indication of the efficiency of the fleet.

Laid-up tonnage and slow steaming have meant a drop in fuel consumed, while the efficiency of the Danish fleet improved by 19 per cent between 2008 and 2010. The Shipowners’ Association notes that operators’ fuel saving practices have continued, and carbon dioxide emissions have not risen again, following the 2009 recession. “We are witnessing, for the first time, a decoupling of the fleet growth and the increase of emissions,” the organisation says. The association also supports the ratification of the IMO’s convention on ballast water. Ballast water is full of organisms such as algae, crustaceans, zooplankton, and even fish that may upset the ecological balance when released into an alien environment. Worldwide, the problem amounts to billions of tonnes of discharge. These unwanted guests can threaten local ecosystems, and, in the worst case, lead to the eradication of local species. Alien species may also represent a threat to human health if they are taken into the food chain and poison shellfish. The association is at pains to ensure that ratification does not mean excessive bureaucracy and extra costs for its members. It is paying particular attention to the need for risk analysis of ferry services over short distances where the spread of invasive organism cannot take place. The convention was partially ratified into law (L 164) in May 2010.

Green ship of the future An ambitious plan was launched in 2008 by a handful of the big players within the Danish maritime community with the backing of the Danish government. The group consists of 41 partners (including four universities). The plan was to design “the green ship of the future”. The project aims to develop strategies for reducing carbon dioxide, nitrogen and sulphur emissions from newbuildings and existing ships. Danish Marine Group has outlined more specific goals. These include a 30 per cent reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and 90 per cent cut in sulphur and nitrogen emissions – measured against a base equivalent to the average emissions of the world fleet in 2007. The Green Ship of the Future project was recognised in 2009 by Sustainable Shipping as the most environment-friendly shipping initiative. Sustainable Shipping is a leading organisation dedicated to promoting the sustainable use of the sea. Some of the many projects included in this effort have included: – more efficient waste heat recovery from main engines – an air cavity system which pumps air under the hull to lift the ship and reduce water friction. That could mean 15 per cent savings in fuel and carbon dioxide emissions – speeding up loading and unloading so ships can sail slower, thus reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Of course old ships based on old technology cannot become green ships. “But they can become greener,” according to the Danish Marine Group. In 2010–11 the Danish Maritime Authority managed a project that explored the option of using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as an environment-friendly alternative to traditional ship fuel. The project involved the Nordic countries and Belgium, ports, energy companies and others. The Danish Maritime Authority said in a status report in October 2011 that there are good opportunities for using LNG but that challenges remain. These include how to refuel while loading and unloading goods and passengers. It also sees a need for LNG fuelling/feeder ships, and the rules for LNG need to be adapted for use by small ships and ports.

Environment minister Ida Auken enlarged on the government’s green aspirations: “Danish companies are developing solutions that limit air pollution from ships, technologies that enable ships to decrease their fuel consumption and solutions to ensure that the greatest possible number of parts from a ship can be reused when it is scrapped. Meanwhile, Danish shipping companies are already adopting the new, green technologies. We are well prepared to provide the environment and climate solutions that will be in demand following the tightening of [environmental] regulations and as demand for green transportation increases.”

Danish Shipping

Blue and Green The new Growth Plan for Blue Denmark, launched in December 2012, further underlines the government and the industry’s commitment to green solutions.

Chapter 8:

Policies and strategies Danish shipping policy is set by the government through the Ministry of Economic and Business Affairs, and is regulated by the Danish Maritime Authority. It states three main aims: – To promote open and unrestricted market access – To ensure the global competitiveness of the Danish fleet – To promote safety and security for ships and those on board and prevent marine pollution. The objective set out in the growth strategy plans is for Denmark to be a world seafaring nation. The 2006 action plan for growth focuses on seven areas, including education and recruitment; research, development and innovation; taxation and development financing; reforms to administrative burdens and national requirements; market access; increased focus on quality shipping; and new service initiatives from the Danish Maritime Authority.

Danish Shipping

The Danish Maritime Authority stated: “Globalisation and international competition are placing greater demands on shipping companies and the other enterprises in the Danish maritime cluster. It is essential that the framework conditions for the industry always remain attractive and are regularly adapted. It is also essential to have a maritime administration that can match the regulatory needs of the industry, both nationally and internationally. This is the only way that Denmark can retain and improve its position as an international maritime nation with quality shipping and commercial efficiency. This is necessary in order to create growth in the Danish maritime cluster.”

According to the Danish Shipowners’ Association, the government’s 2006 maritime cluster action plan has been fully implemented and the merchant fleet has done its bit by increasing in size by 50 per cent. (Gross tonnage in the merchant fleet increased from eight to 11 million GT in this period.) However the association emphasises the importance of regularly revisiting things to ensure framework conditions continue to secure global competitiveness. A new growth plan was launched in December 2012 (see the next chapter). As shipping becomes increasingly global and globalised, the number of key players is getting smaller. Essentially, it is the survival of the fittest as the big players such as Maersk seek to squeeze smaller, less competitive players out of the market. It is not just fewer players; it is also fewer countries in which the big players are concentrated. The Danish Shipowners’ Association is keenly aware of this and so makes a point of pushing bilateral dialogue with key maritime countries, including Brazil, Russia, India and China, as well as the US and the EU. In 2010, it engaged in meetings with maritime and political interests from these and other countries such as Chile and Morocco.

Port reform The previous government set up a committee to examine the sector with a view to updating and reforming the nation’s ports, something that Danish Ports, the national association of commercial ports in Denmark, had sought for years. However, an expected major port reform by the current government, which among other things would extend the range of activities that local authority-run ports can offer, has not yet materialised. Many Danish ports are owned by the local authority, while some are privately owned. The aim of the proposals put forward by the ports sector itself was to ensure that all the nation’s ports

would be on the same footing in terms of the options available to offer a full suite of services to port users. A new joint initiative headed by the Danish Ports Association in partnership with the Danish Department of Transport and local councils will permit ports to offer greatly increased security. It aims to reduce the theft and loss of goods at the country’s ports while improving anti-terrorist and illegal immigration systems. Announced in September 2012, it will see more than €30 million budgeted for the project over the next two years to enable round-the-clock policing, CCTV electronic and sensor-based surveillance at participating ports, including Copenhagen, Odense and Elsinore. Of this total, which is being provided by the project’s joint sponsors, as much as 60 per cent will be spent on the installation of video electronic surveillance systems and centralised port guard monitoring stations. “The long-term plan is that 24/7 electronic surveillance will replace more port police patrols over time, with surveillance technologies playing a greater role in overall security at Danish ports,” said DPA Chairman Uffe Steiner Jensen. “We have been quite decisive over the past year about tightening procedures and requirements, especially 24-hour ship surveillance.”

The National Port Security Initiative is expected to result in a more customised and effective protective system for Danish ports, and a higher and more dedicated standard than the port security requirements that have spun off from International Maritime Organisation and EU criteria. The latter focus mainly on the implementation of anti-terrorism and immigration controls. “The EU and International Maritime Organisation security criteria for ports are somewhat loose, and not designed to meet the needs of Nordic ports and the particular security concerns that we face in this part of northern Europe,” added Jensen. Anti-piracy strategy The Government announced an anti-piracy strategy in May 2011. It said this was to follow up on its existing effort that would create a coherent framework over several years for addressing the problem. The aim is to ensure that waters off the Horn of Africa and the Indian Ocean are safe for Danish and international shipping. The strategy is due to run until 2014 and comprises unilateral and multilateral military, legal and other measures.

According to the Danish Shipowners’ Association, Minister of Justice Morten Bødskov has pledged to amend legislation to allow armed guards to a greater degree. At present, owners must seek dispensation from the government to put armed guards on a vessel, and approval can take several weeks. The first time that the Danish Ministry of Justice sanctioned private armed guards on board a Danish vessel was in January 2011, on the tanker Torm Kansas, which had been attacked by pirates in November of the previous year. The parliamentary foreign policy committee decided in November 2011 to send a surveillance aircraft to the region to help in the battle against piracy. The owners regard the aircraft as another tool in the fight against the pirates. The association believes the EU should deliver a common strategy for dealing with the problem and has lobbied in support of the idea in Brussels. Danish ships have been captured and crews taken hostage by Somali pirates so the Danes are as keen as anyone to deal with the problem.

Danish Shipping

The Danish Shipowners’ Association estimates that the cost of piracy to Denmark’s shipowners, just in 2011, totalled more than $200 million. The organisation has called for a coordinated and holistic international approach to the problem. Danish shipping companies that have been victims of piracy – such as Clipper and the US subsidiary of Maersk – now routinely carry armed guards on all their ships. Industry intelligence suggests that no ship carrying armed guards has been boarded by pirates.

Legislation by the Danish government to make the use of armed ship guards easier was expected in spring 2012 but has not yet been forthcoming. However, according to the International Maritime Bureau, attacks by pirates had by October 2012 fallen to a six-year low, with only one ship attacked in the third quarter of the year, as against 36 during the corresponding three months in 2011. EU Presidency in 2012 Denmark held the rotating EU presidency during the first half of 2012. Its broad aims included promoting a dynamic, environmentally aware and secure Europe, while promoting growth and working to steer Europe and the euro zone out of its economic crisis. Ahead of taking up the presidency, Denmark had published a list of its priorities. This indicated a focus on administrative burdens, anti-piracy and seafarers’ working conditions. Specifically, in terms of maritime policy, it said it planned to have two conventions implemented into EU law: the STCW (International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping) and MLC (Maritime Labour Convention). This was an ambitious list, particularly in terms of anti-piracy measures, a subject that since about 2008 has divided the countries of the world, not just the EU member states. And despite then Minister of Business and Growth Ole Sohn’s leading a two-day conference of many interested parties midway through the Danish presidential term, no consensus

on counter-piracy moves was reached and no new EU-wide measures resulted. It should be noted, however, that the EU had decided, immediately before the conference, to extend the mandate of its own anti-piracy operation Atalanta for another two years until December 2014. It also agreed to step it up beyond just vessel escort duties and anti-piracy manoeuvres off the coast of Somalia to include actual attacks against the pirates’ shorebased assets. Launched in December 2008, Atalanta is carried out by EU NAVFOR (naval force) Somalia, and is intended to provide a rapid reaction force to respond to any vessels under attack from pirates in the Gulf of Aden area. Of the 27 EU member states, only four do not take part in operation Atalanta. Denmark is one of the four. In respect of some of Denmark’s other maritime aims, however, Ole Sohn had a greater degree of success. Another of the Danish priorities was the completion of negotiations to extend the mandate of the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), a European Union agency charged with reducing the risk of maritime accidents, marine pollution from ships and the loss of human life at sea. A political agreement was reached on this which, the Danish presidency said, would ensure that the Agency will be able to carry out its tasks in relation to maritime safety and the marine environment in a better and more efficient manner.

The Danes also said they would be looking to reduce administrative burdens on ships carrying goods between EU ports, under a project called eMaritime and Blue Belt. Ole Sohn chaired a European Council meeting at which the EU maritime ministers discussed this. The aim of the Blue Belt project is to make the clearance procedure easier for the vessels sailing between ports in the EU by reusing data from the surveillance already taking place in EU waters. Ole Sohn commented: ”I am very satisfied that the meeting showed broad support from the ministers to initiate the next step towards making the Blue Belt project a permanent scheme. The Blue Belt project shows how we can reduce the administrative burdens in an intelligent way – namely by reusing public data collected for other purposes.” In addition, at the same EC meeting, the ministers also discussed EU implementation of the international convention (MLC) governing seafarers’ working conditions, but no concrete measures emerged. However, later in the Danish presidency, Ole Sohn did see agreement reached on the incorporation into EU legislation of the most recent amendments to the UN International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers. This means that the EU member states are now obliged to meet international regulations. This will help ensure improved training, health checks and amended regulations on hours of rest as well as the introduction of blood alcohol concentration limits for seafarers. Ole Sohn said: “The new regulations will help ensure that in the future we have many skilled seafarers from European countries. Competent seafarers are decisive for our ability to retain our competitiveness in the maritime field. This means that we can continue to create growth in a growth industry of great importance – not least to Denmark.” The agreement will first need to be formally adopted by the European Parliament and the Council, and will subsequently be transposed into amendments to the existing EU directive on the minimum level of training of seafarers.

Of the first agreement, Ole Sohn said it “focuses on innovation and quality shipping as well as improved international legislation. This will be of benefit to Danish equipment manufacturers, seafarers and shipowners alike – and promote green growth and the creation of jobs worldwide.” He commented about the green ship technology agreement: “Korea has incredibly good facilities and technology on the shipbuilding side and we in Denmark are good at supplying the green technology and solutions that are to be fitted on the ships. This combination is really good when the aim is to reduce CO2 emissions, to which the shipping industry is unfortunately a major contributor.”

Danish Shipping

Also during the Danish EU presidency, Ole Sohn visited Korea, with which a total of five different agreements were concluded. The two shipping-related accords were, first, a cooperation agreement on quality shipping, which focuses on strengthened cooperation between Denmark and Korea, recognising that both have major shipping interests. Second, an agreement to cooperate on green ship technology was signed at a ceremony during the Danish-Korean Green Growth Alliance. It covers joint development of greener ships.

Chapter 9:

Blue Denmark The Danish government has consistently supported Danish shipping’s major role in the economy of the country. The shipowners noted in their latest annual report; “It is gratifying that the current government is continuing to focus on the maritime industry by establishing a team for growth tasked with preparing specific proposals for how to retain and increase growth and development in Blue Denmark.” In March 2012, then Minster for Business and Growth, Ole Sohn attended a meeting with Minister for the Environment Ida Auken, Minister for Science, Innovation and Higher Education Morten Østergaard and a selection of stakeholders from the maritime sector, to set up a team to be known as the Blue Denmark growth team. Its mandate was to improve growth in the maritime sector. The new Blue Denmark initiative is somewhat confusingly named, since there have been two earlier government schemes for the maritime sector, in 2003 and 2006, both known as Blue Denmark. While this latest one has broadly similar aims to its predecessors, it focuses on a maritime sector that has had to cope with both the effects of the global financial crisis and with increased international competition.

Danish Shipping

The new maritime strategy aimed to create jobs at sea and on land. Research and development would be tied in better to business needs, Danish education would be the “best in the world”, and the convention on seafarers’ working conditions would be implemented, also at EU level. Ole Sohns words were broadly welcomed, both by owners and trade unions.

Following the meeting to set up the team, Ole Sohn summed up the situation facing the shipping industry thus: “The major challenge is the ever-increasing competition from other countries. We will have to work hard to maintain the international position of the Danish maritime sector in both shipping and maritime equipment. Fortunately new markets are emerging which have great potential for growth. But we will only be able to compete in both new and existing markets by constantly improving Danish positions of strength.” The new Danish Minister for shipping, Annette Vilhelmsen, who took over from Ole Sohn in October 2012, has said that she would prefer to discuss the Danish shipping framework and general business conditions for shipping with shipowners, and with the maritime growth team, before announcing any detailed decisions. The growth team’s six-point recommendations were passed to the government in the autumn, and the government’s outline proposals, entitled Growth Plan for Blue Denmark, were published in December.

The government has also earmarked $3.4 million in the current budget for boosting work on retrofit shipping solutions. It seems unlikely, though, that the call from subcontractors for ship fitters to be included in DIS will be implemented. It would be too expensive, the minister has said. Calculations showed that it would cost Denmark $12–13.5 million to include it.

No funds have been specifically earmarked, as such, for the maritime growth initiative. It is understood, though, that the money will be found from sums budgeted for the government’s total business growth package, “A Denmark that stands together”. The government has described it as being “all about focusing efforts on areas (including the maritime sector) where Danish companies have specific strengths, where there is a prospect of rising global demand, and where Danish companies can simultaneously solve key global societal challenges in areas such as health, climate and environment.” Launching Blue Denmark 2012 The launch of the Growth Plan for Blue Denmark was attended by the ministers for the environment (Ida Auken) and for education (Morten Østergaard) together with Annette Vilhelmsen. It is the first part of what the government calls its “aggressive business and growth policy” package. It will eventually cover eight sectors that the government feels are underperforming because of the level of international competition they face.

The government’s vision of the future for Danish shipping is based on three guiding principles: • Denmark should be Europe’s maritime centre; • The future for Blue Denmark lies in green solutions; • Growth in the maritime cluster must be supported by strong Danish skills. Annette Vilhelmsen commented: “With the growth plan for Blue Denmark we will strengthen Denmark’s global position, modernizing our rules and focusing in the shipping sector on the transition to a greener world. Our vision for Blue Denmark is that Denmark will be Europe’s maritime centre, and green solutions represent an important part of the way forward. To support the maritime cluster, there is a need for strong Danish skills and competencies. “We will take action on promoting Blue Denmark and find ways of better attracting foreign shipping companies. It also means that we need to reduce the administrative burden and generally improve the framework conditions for business.”

Environment minister Ida Auken enlarged on the government’s green aspirations. She said: “Danish companies are developing solutions that limit air pollution from ships, technologies that enable ships to decrease their fuel consumption and solutions to ensure that the greatest possible number of parts from a ship can be reused when it is scrapped. Meanwhile, Danish shipping companies are already adopting the new, green technologies. We are well prepared to provide the environment and climate solutions that will be in demand following the tightening of [environmental] regulations and as demand for green transportation increases.”

Education minister Morten Østergaard pointed out that knowledge and skills were key to growth and job creation in the maritime sector, which would be a matter for discussion between education and business groups. “The growth plan recommends strengthened cooperation on competence requirements in the offshore industry, and also focuses on cooperation in education with other countries,” he said. Danish Maritime, representatives from which served on the maritime growth team, has hailed the government’s Blue Denmark report. The industry body said in its 2012 annual report that it was looking forward to trying to improve the

industry’s international competitiveness “by working for a good, stable environment, so the industry can continue to strengthen its position on the world market and achieve its growth potential to the fullest.” Annette Vilhelmsen has, however, declined to offer any guarantees that the current environment and framework conditions for the shipping sector, such as DIS, net lending, and the tonnage tax, will continue unaltered, in their current forms. “I believe we’re making a lot of initiatives that will benefit the industry, but I can’t give any guarantees regarding the framework conditions at this time,” she said.

Chapter 10:

Danish International Ship Register:

a blessing and a curse Not many acts of parliament have caused – and continue to cause – such debate as the one that ushered in the Danish International Ship Register, DIS. For over 20 years there have been legal wranglings, campaigns and legal action against it on the one hand, while on the other, shipowners have trumpeted its value, saying it is necessary to help them compete in a globalised market. In between are unions who initially supported the act but who now are becoming increasingly lukewarm in their support as it has, in their eyes, failed to meet expectations. Unions assert that DIS has not delivered on promises of jobs that in recent years have increasingly migrated abroad. The winners, they claim, are clearly and mainly the owners. The international ship register and tonnage tax form two important pillars of an overall framework set by government which the Danish Shipowners’ Association says is crucial to the continuing success of its members.

Danish Shipping

“These two arrangements are of crucial significance to the possibility of Danish shipping continuing to be the biggest export industry in Denmark,” the association said. It claims they have in the past decade helped Danish shipping to grow and become a major global player.

The association points out that 80–90 per cent of the international competitors to Danish shipowners operate with a tonnage tax or similar regime, so Denmark shares common operating standards and conditions. With tonnage tax, a shipowner pays tax based on tonnage rather than earnings, regardless of fluctuations in earnings, and so tax planning and budgeting is easier as the amount of tax due remains constant. “If Danish shipowners don’t have the same possibilities of competing internationally as our international competitors then we simply can’t keep up,” says Jan Fritz Hansen, Executive Vice President of the Danish Shipowners’ Association. “Denmark would then risk losing considerable export earnings, jobs and tax revenue.” The association points to the situation in neighbouring Sweden, where years of political dithering by successive governments over tonnage tax have led to an exodus of Swedish shipowners reflagging to Denmark and elsewhere where operating conditions are regarded as more favourable and predictable. The overall objectives are simple, according to Jacob Clasen at the Danish Shipowners’ Association. He says: “Our aim, from a shipowners’ point of view, is to have conditions that are no worse than anyone else’s. If they want us to do something in Denmark, then we need the same conditions as others.” Clasen says the owners are largely satisfied and have the conditions they want.

DIS means tax exemption for seafarers so employers are entitled to pay employers a salary net of tax and keep the tax equivalent for themselves. One drawback with this is that recent tax cuts for society at large have bypassed the seafarers under DIS, as they do not pay tax. This has led to major disgruntlement and campaigning by the unions who feel their members are being hard done by. So far, their claim is falling on fairly deaf ears. The most recent overhaul of the DIS system came in the spring of 2011, when parliament agreed to allow owners a dispensation under DIS so that up to 40 per cent of captains and other officers could be nationals of countries other than Denmark or the European Economic Area. Before, they had to be Danes or EEA citizens. The unions had fiercely resisted the change and managed to have it watered down. The original proposal was for the total scrapping of the nationality requirement.

Clasen points to the broad political agreement for the amendment in parliament. Globalisation lay behind the change. He says there had been instances of Danish shipowners buying ships and flagging them to DIS. And while they were allowed to keep foreign crews, experienced officers had to be replaced to conform to the nationality legal requirements. This was causing some disquiet among oil companies who wanted to see continuity and experienced crews moving their precious cargoes. While the owners can be pleased with what they have got, the same cannot be said for the Danish maritime unions. It is little wonder, for under DIS Danish jobs have gone. Almost all ratings on DIS ships are from countries such as the Philippines or Poland. The latest development will see senior officers, including captains, being replaced on many DIS vessels. Denmark’s biggest shipping company Maersk had preceded the 2011 DIS change by announcing, in 2009, a programme of replacing 170 Danish junior officers and 113 British officers with cheaper Asian officers. Then, later that year, they did away with their Danish maritime catering officers, and replaced them with Filipinos. Being a very large company, Maersk was paying very large wage bills for its seafarers, so the motive was simply to save money. The unions did not see its point of view, however.

The labour view of DIS There are four main Danish maritime trade unions. General transport union 3F represents ratings, while masters, mates, and other officers may be members of Danish Maritime Officers. The Danish Engineers’ Association draws its members from engineers and dual-purpose officers, while catering officers are, historically, organised in the Danish Metal Workers – Maritime Section. Maersk has over the years found itself in disputes with different unions internationally, which led the labour unions to form the Maersk Network in 2006. It comprises transport unions under the International Transport Workers’ Federation, a global umbrella grouping. The Maersk Network unions managed to persuade Maersk to sign up in 2009 to the United Nations Global Compact that promotes labour and human rights, the environment and anti-corruption activities. Henrik Berlau, Maersk Network co-ordinator and negotiating secretary for 3F’s transport section, has been critical of Maersk. He says: “Maersk has the most fantastic website where you can read about how the company emphasises having zero tolerance of actions that may lead to problems for their employees. It’s as if it’s something they really emphasise. They don’t mention in the same breath anything about the problems they’ve been made aware of over a period of time, all the small battles we are obliged to have with them on a daily basis, that mean they’re no better an employer than all the others.” The group could do more, he says, including accepting responsibility

Danish Shipping 47

for how its contractors treat their employees, particularly in developing countries where there is less tradition of dealing with trade unions. As a union activist and organiser, Berlau nevertheless commends Maersk’s ability to organise: “In terms of technology it’s always been forward-looking…and has an effective organisation that is amazing. You must consider how big it is. Having an organisation that encompasses so many people requires discipline and overview that is absolutely enormous.”

Danish Shipping

The Danish maritime caterers’ union has also targeted Maersk, claiming its indifference to agreements could lead to the end of DIS. Union president Ole Philipsen said back in 2009 that the financial crisis meant the company was no longer a supportive partner in the DIS roundtable of employers and unions.

“It has now moved to being indifferent towards all the agreements the company has previously benefited so richly from,” he said. “As the picture is now, we’re maybe heading for the end of the story that is the DIS project and Denmark as Europe’s leading maritime nation. Presumably, it’s just a question of time before DIS sinks to just being a flag of convenience.” At its autumn congress in 2011, the Danish Federation of Trade Unions, LO, adopted a commitment to changing the DIS law. This followed many years’ campaigning by 3F. That union has, through LO, brought legal action against the Danish government. And although it has suffered numerous defeats in the courts, it has replied with appeals. The current business minister is named in the proceedings, which allege the law is incompatible with the European Treaty and workers’ rights. Henrik Berlau said: “The DIS law is wrong and must be

amended.” He argued that if owners want particular things they should negotiate and agree them. The Danish labour market model is based on agreements between unions and employers, with little or no interference from government. The problem with DIS, he argues, is that section 10b of the law specifically prevents Danish unions from negotiating collective agreements on behalf of seafarers on DIS ships who are not domiciled in Denmark. The International Labour Organisation has protested against the law and the International Transport Workers’ Federation has also threatened to declare DIS a flag of convenience if the law is not amended. Berlau said he does not want to see the register abolished, just section 10 changed. He has no sympathy for any argument that Danish competiveness is threatened by Danish collective wage agreements that cover just 13 or so men on a ship that itself costs millions to operate.

The owners’ view of DIS For their side, the Danish Shipowners’ Association has illustrated the positive aspects of the DIS by means of a case-study from Dampskibsselskabet Norden A/S. It is an independent shipping company, listed on NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen, active in the dry cargo and tanker markets worldwide. It operates ships both under the Danish flag and outside it, both owned and chartered. In addition, Norden has an extensive newbuilding programme, with a total of 26 vessels on order (21 dry cargo vessels, 5 tankers). In the document which contains their 2012 priorities for maritime transport at EU level, the shipowners’ body makes the argument for the status quo for Danish shipping companies. The study says: “Norden is a living example of why it is important to maintain the existing framework conditions for the (Danish) shipping industry at European level.” It details the expansion of the company since the 2001 introduction of tonnage tax – which the DSA says today covers about 80 per cent of the world fleet – with an almost fivefold increase in employees worldwide and a sixfold increase in its operating fleet to 220 ships. Of these 16 are now operated under the Danish flag, which represents a fourfold increase. Norden CFO Michael Tønnes Jørgensen claims that the company’s growth “helps demonstrate why uniform and equal framework conditions for European shipping are the basis for growth in the communities where the shipping companies have their registered offices.” He continues: “It is a challenge these years with a severe imbalance between the number of vessels at sea and demand. But the precondition for the European shipping companies to succeed in today’s global competition is that we all, as a rule, have the same framework conditions as our competitors outside the EU. The tonnage tax regime ... and the Danish International Ship Register contribute significantly and positively.” In this same report, “Danish shipping and the EU agenda”, the shipowners have set out their collective agenda. They note that the 2004 (European) Community Guidelines on State Aid to Maritime Transport are due for revision. They have called for several changes to be made in the new guidelines, which they say must not include conditions that would be “unrealistic or impracticable for shipowners, as these would work against the purpose of the EU State Aid Guidelines of promoting the maritime cluster.”

The association also argues against restricted market access by the EU, which, it says, is hindering efforts to gain better access for European shipowners to cabotage trades in important markets like China, India and Russia. The EU’s restrictions apply to cabotage trades in a number of EU countries, which are reserved for EU-registered vessels.

Danish Shipping

Their specific suggestions cover chartered ships and non EU-flagged vessels. The future guidelines must reflect the requirements of the modern European fleet, the shipowners say, specifically including “an expansion of the percentage of chartered vessels allowed, irrespective of flag, and full inclusion of so-called service vessels.” The shipowners point out that these vessels typically require special skills and “are therefore an important source of employment for EU seafarers”.

Chapter 11:

Challenges ahead There’s no doubt times are tough for Danish – and global – shipping, no matter how much spin anyone might put on the situation about rosy prospects. There are many signs of hope and strengths upon which the Danish industry is building, but Denmark has a fair share of problems too. The strong market recovery in 2010, which was marked by shipping companies taking laid-up tonnage back into use, rising freight rates and increasing optimism, has been replaced by a sharp market downturn, more consolidation and survival of the fittest. The expertise and skill to be found throughout the entire Danish maritime sector means it will continue to have a bright future and some of its niche players will flourish. Nonetheless, there also will be casualties that fall by the wayside, as the market gloom is likely to get worse before it gets better. The turnover of the AP Moller-Maersk group makes up 60 per cent of the Danish shipowning sector. The company operates in a range of segments, making it a useful bellwether for the industry.

Danish Shipping

Even though improved container rates took the group’s third quarter 2012 operating profit above forecasts and the company raised its full-year outlook, CEO Nils Smedegaard Andersen remained cautious. The group increased its 2012 group net profit forecast to $3.7 billion from “slightly above” 2011’s $3.4 billion result. However, he warned that rates could turn down again for container division Maersk Line, which had returned to profit in the previous quarter after four successive periods of losses.

“I think one should be careful expecting that this is now very stable,” he said. “It does not mean there is no chance of a relapse for prices on some routes.” Maersk’s container division directly reflects world trade as its ships carry more than 15 per cent of all seaborne containers; it has recorded a volatile performance in recent times because of the world economic slowdown and an oversupply of vessels. He is right to be cautious. According to the Danish Shipowners’ Association 2012 statistics, the average daily shipping charter rate on a Panamax container vessel was $26,000 in 2010 and $15,000 in 2011, with an average for January to October 2012 of $8,500. The picture is even worse for the tanker segment. Very large crude carriers commanded an average $35,000 a day in 2010, $15,000 in 2011 and $20,800 in January-October 2012, with great rate volatility from month to month and a step decline as the year wore on. A capesize bulk carrier was on just $16,000 a day in 2011 compared with $33,000 in 2010. However, the average for the first ten months of 2012 fell to $14.900, with an all-time low since 2008 of $4,000 in August. It really is survival of the fittest.

The liner sector is suffering from a downturn in world trade resulting from the current sovereign debt crisis and rising fuel costs, but is also in trouble as too many new ships are being

built while not enough old ones are being scrapped. The good times when they were ordered did not last. Chinese exports to Europe were down 9 per cent in October 2011 year-on-year. Over the first six months of 2012, the European Commission reports, the EU’s exports to China have grown by 10.8 per cent, but Chinese exports to Europe remained flat. With little prospect of much improvement in the near term, that can only spell difficulty for shipowners. TORM A/S, the debt-stricken bulker and tanker owner/operator was in October 2012 taken over by the banks in a rescue deal that extends the period for repayments on debts of $1.8 billion and also provides new investment in the company. The rescue agreement will see banks including Danske Bank, Nordea and Danish Ship Finance take a 72.7 per cent stake in TORM, with time charter partners receiving a 17.3 per cent stake. A total

of 10 per cent of the company will go to existing shareholders. The deal buys time for TORM to wait for the tanker market to improve. In its third quarter 2012 results, the company reported that its losses had increased by 11 per cent because of very low freight rates. TORM CEO Jacob Meldgaard commented: “The financial results in the third quarter of 2012 were again negatively affected by the challenging market conditions as well as Torm’s financial situation. Looking forward, the recently completed restructuring agreement will enable Torm to become cash flow positive even at the current rate levels.” Under the new financing deal, which replaces an earlier one running until February 2012, scheduled instalments on the existing bank debt are postponed until 30 September, 2014.

Danish Shipping 51

Up till then rescheduled principal amortizations will become due only if TORM has sufficient liquidity. If ships are sold, the related debt will fall due. The company was founded in 1889 and is listed in Copenhagen and New York. TORM ‘s fleet is the second largest, measured by tonnage, in the Danish merchant fleet, after A.P Moller Maersk. It should also be remembered that, as mentioned earlier, the Maersk-owned Odense Steel Shipyard, also known as Lindø, once the pearl in Danish shipbuilding, closed in early 2012 after failing to meet profitability targets. It simply could not compete with Far Eastern rivals.

Danish Shipping

Still optimistic about growth Despite the market difficulties, the Danish Shipowners’ Association is maintaining a positive outlook. It notes the

economic difficulties in the US and southern Europe, as well as freight rates. But its November 2012 statistics showed that the Danish merchant fleet had not only stood its ground, but even managed slight growth. Tonnage under the Danish flag had, as of October 2012, risen without interruption since 2002. Since May, there was a net gain of 15 ships though the change in total tonnage was almost negligible, and since the onset of the global market crisis at the end of 2008, a growth of 109 vessels or 2.24 million GT. Most of the growth (1.35 million GT) was in the tanker segment, where the number of ships doubled from 88 to 176, while dry cargo fleet tonnage increased slightly (up 0.91 million GT), though the number of ships grew from 411 to 432 over the period. The total number of container ships in the Danish merchant fleet rose from 86 vessels of 6.00 million gt in January 2010 to 95 ships totalling 6.61 million gt in October 2012.

The association points out that its members are following a policy of “wait and see” before contracting newbuildings again. The order book mainly dates back to before 2009, but 21 ships totalling 0.89 million GT were ordered by Danish owners in 2012 at a contract value of DKK 8.07 billion. According to the association it makes Danish owners’ order book the 14th biggest in the world. As of 1 October 2012, the order book, including orders for delivery post 2015, totalled 92 ships of 5.2 million GT. Orders in 2012 were mainly for container ships (28) and tankers (26), along with six general cargo/ro-ro ships. Danish Maritime has stressed that the country’s maritime industry has managed to maintain and expand production in recent years, even though the nation is no longer a builder of big container vessels. Its shipbuilding capabilities are characterised by breadth of innovative and competitive goods and services, as well as its successful niche shipyards that build

and repair special vessels. Environmentally correct retrofitting is also carried out. Perhaps the last word on all this should go to the Danish Shipowners’ Association. Shipping is a cyclical industry and always has been, and the owner’s organisation remains cautiously confident. It says that although the short-term future will undoubtedly be “challenging for Danish and international shipping”, because the country has “a modern and energy efficient fleet, a good brand, as well as a considerable amount of know-how in the shipping companies, Danish shipping will weather the financial crisis.”

Premator AB blasting and coating Since its origin in 1976 Premator has acted as a contractor in the field of qualified corrosion control, principally in the maritime market. Already at the end of the ‘70s we carried out voyage repairs and water blasting, pioneering treatment techniques only recently applied as alternatives to conventional methods. Years of experience of work in different locations and markets resulted in development of close co-operation with shipyards worldwide. Benefiting from launching Premator Group and striving to achieve unity in everything it does, we guarantee our customers the same high quality of performance, regardless of where the job is carried out. During the 35 years of Premator’s history we had the privilege to serve a large number of shipping companies who recognize and value quality and the feedback has been unanimously positive. We are proud to receive top rating from numerous ship superintendents whose reports reveal that they had not experienced such quality before.

Ship Repair Over the years Premator has become a key player on the blasting and coating market of ship repair. The company has not only expanded geographically by opening of new branches/offices, but also developed significantly in terms of new technology and experience. The techniques and options in corrosion prevention are varied, as are the merits of each approach. The true art is to melt together the advantages of the different treatment methods available, creating a durable result. Premator does not prescribe one particular treatment method at the expense of another. Based on more than 35 years’ experience of surface treatment, we can provide our customers with an honest chance to select a level suited to their budget.

Each and every Premator set-up is a division within the Premator Group. This means that they have the full support of the entire Premator Group in terms of resources for a specific project. We have through technical developments designed a network of uniform worldwide equipment at all Premator locations. By doing so, the different sites are able to support each other for larger projects. This means that, with the Premator Group as the backbone of every Premator set-up, we are able to offer our clients a local capacity hard to find elsewhere, regardless of which Premator location you choose.

New Building Premator New Building started when we became one of the main contractors in the very successful construction of Stena’s new passenger ferries, in Poland (1985-1988). Today Premator’s characteristic orange banners marking our working sites can be spotted all across the world.

So, when it comes to docking of your vessel, keep us in mind and give us a call. We have full confidence in our potential to provide you with a high quality cost effective surface treatment with on time delivery.

One example of this, in 2007 we started co-operation with the Kleven Yard in Ulsteinvik, Norway. Projects launched from the Kleven Yard include initial surface treatment on new vessels in Poland and finish treatment in Norway. This highlight our global potential and the benefits to our customers. In practice we are the best control solution, focusing on quality control and preliminary time schedules, on behalf of our client. Premator gave surface treatment quality a new name.

Tank Coating Tank coating is a general term that covers a lot of different phases. No part can be weaker or less developed than the other parts of what is a highly complex operation. We devote a great deal of time and effort to increasing the overall standard of surface preparation. This not only involves training and certification but also years of experience out in the field. There is no doubt that an improved standard of surface preparation will extend the in-service lifetime of any tank coating. High quality is the key to lasting performance and is by far the most economical method in the long term. Based on our experience of water blasting and grit blasting and all types of manual and chemical rust removal, we help our customers to select a level suited to their budget and expected in-service lifetime.

If you compare the blasting and painting projects of Ship Repair to New Building you find New Building a completely different story. Today it is common practice to contract sections or entire hulls to external workshops. Premator, as an active partner already at the design stage, follows the vessel step by step throughout her entire construction process. Our involvement begins at the initial stage in external workshops; therefore sparing our customer the problems and conflicts that may appear when using many different contractors.

Like other Alfa Laval solutions, PureBallast is the result of continuous product development and extensive experience gained from cooperation with shipyards throughout the world.

PureBilge is the only system on the market that provides cleaning performance in real life conditions of 0–5 ppm oil content in the water without chemicals, adsorption filter or membranes. This performance is unaffected by sea heave, oil shocks or high solids loading, and no backflushing is required. The PureBilge system offers the full automation and remote control that will be required by the unmanned engine rooms of the future and is supplied with the fully integrated tamperproof BlueBox Bilge Data Recorder. In combination with PureBilge’s certified performance, the result is assured compliance with current and future legislation.

Alfa Laval PureBilge cleans oily wastewater onboard vessels under real-life operating conditions down to 0 to 5 ppm oil-in-water content without the use of chemicals, adsorption filters or membranes.

Ship’s Gear & Supplies

PureBilge – first with DNV 5 ppm type approval For bilge water, the DNV Clean Design class notation stipulates a maximum of 5 ppm of oil remaining in the water after treatment, prior to pumping overboard. Although MARPOL regulations still stipulate 15 ppm, future legislation is expected to reduce the limit to 5 ppm. In 2011, DNV introduced a 5 ppm type approval process for marine bilge water separators. The first to be certified was PureBilge from Alfa Laval.

Danlamp A/S

What’s right or wrong?

It is RIGHT that SM Navigation is a world famous trademark. Our products are handmade incandescent lamps of the highest quality. Each lamp is tested manually before it is set out to sea.

It is RIGHT that our lamps cost a little more than some others, but their long lifespan makes them more cost effective in the long run. Probably, it is WRONG not to choose SM Navigaton lamps.

Since 1931 in Denmark we have developed, produced and marketed incandescent lamps to farreaching places, to customers who demand quality and accuracy in the use of artificial light. Our aim is to maintain and develop the special and individual incandescent lamps which our company has come to be known for.

Ship’s Gear & Supplies

It is RIGHT that the navigation lamp is a vital part of a ship’s security system, where lifetime and reliability are important.

It is RIGHT that all SM Navigation lamps are approved according to international standards: EN 14744, NS 2785 and UL 1104.

Survey Association Ltd A/S Besigtelses Kontoret A/S

Looking back, in a minute of reflection, into the almost 100 years of history of the Survey Association Ltd. it has been a journey through times of traditional shipping operations to facing the highly technological and complex shipping and off-shore activities of today.

Our history has taught us the importance of meeting the market on the market’s terms and that real value is not created before our work is utilized by our customers towards their own. As the leading Scandinavian marine survey supplier we are always on a 24/7 alert and are capable of providing assistance within a vast amount of damage, condition, compliance, cargo, consultancy, offshore & renewable energy and marine risk management services on a global basis and through that facilitate real value creation for our customers. Through our constantly developing experience and competences we focus on proactively and responsively ensuring that our customers current and future needs are taken into consideration and that we together may pioneer the industry towards new standards of best practice operations.

Our vision for the future of the marine business In a world of stagnant or declining market opportunities as well as an increased focus on corporate social responsibility, both internally and externally, the predominant focus has been on improving the seafarer’s welfare while improving the cost efficiency of the firm. We have learned from our experiences that in this modern time, human related factors are the root cause of the majority of personal as well as technical safety issues and the majority of casualties. This opens a window to improve both the seafarer’s welfare as well as the cost efficiency of the firm, by addressing the human related factors in a preventive manner. Technical rules and regulations as well as the different inspection regimes that are in place to ensure verification and compliance to maintain the required safety level, cannot eliminate reoccurrences due to human behavior. Human behavior must therefore be addressed in another fashion.

Consultants

Experience has shown us that only through a strong commitment to safety management visions, policies and values will an organization have the opportunity of identifying, assessing and addressing underlying risks related to the human behavior and eliminate or reduce the impact of any technical loss.

130

Several years of experience within SAC and a deep insight into ship management and ship operations make us both a competent and confident partner. We can support Your company’s risk and safety assessments in Your efforts to identify the nature and reduce the risk that may pose a threat to Your business.

Falck Nutec Esbjerg A/S

Training must resemble the reality onboard

Education & Learning

For more than 40 years Danish mariners’ safety has been at the forefront of Falck Nutec’s business activities. Many of our experienced instructors have a seafaring background as engineer officers, navigators or in other maritime jobs. They know what a difference good emergency preparedness and well trained mariners can make in a critical situation.

136

When your employees participate in our courses, they encounter conditions they are familiar with from their working day onboard the ship: • The practical part of a course in fire fighting takes place in a fire module constructed like a ship. • Our sea rescue hall offers uniform conditions, so all mariners receive identical training in a controlled environment. The alternative would be exposure to changeable weather and wave conditions in a harbour basin. • Boat courses take place with the latest generation of MOB and lifeboats; and in accordance with the most up-to-date standards.

It is one thing when an accident happens, and another to prevent it happening in the first place. Our courses in personal safety enable your employees to reduce risk and prevent an accident occurring. Several courses within the international maritime organisation IMO’s STCW convention will in future require compulsory refresher courses. Let us create an overview of what needs your company has, so your ships can still sail with safety conscious and dynamic employees.

Yours faithfully The extremely realistic training environment ensures that a real emergency situation will be recognisable, and that employees are able to act quickly and effectively to limit injuries to people and assets. Our motto is “Practise makes perfect – and saves lives”.
