New digital Danish Register of Shipping.
The Danish Maritime Authority will now start developing the new digital Danish Register of Shipping.
This implies that future reporting and registration of ships will occur digitally. Furthermore, data access will be easier and faster.
Deputy Director General, CPO, Charlotte Ahrendt Steen, said: that they are making the move to digital registration with their new register of shipping, which is under development.
Digitized maritime sector
He added that this new shipping will definitely reduce the administrative burden for those companies that have their ships registered under the Danish flag.
He also said this is another contribution from the Danish Maritime Authority to a digitalized maritime sector.
Ship registration includes extensive processes for the industry and is economically heavy for the shipping companies.
Original legal documents with records of ownership and value need to be circulated – often with a courier beyond countries’ borders or through face-to-face meetings.
The new Danish Register of Shipping is expected to be in service by the end of 2020.
