Danish Maritime

Danish Maritime is the business association for Danish manufacturers of maritime equipment and ships, shipyards, ship designers, and service providers. The association’s overall task is to promote favorable framework conditions and contribute to the Danish maritime industry’s continuous success and global competitiveness.

Danish Maritime participates in WP1, WP2, WP3, WP5, and WP6, and organizes the third project meeting in Copenhagen in November 2024.

The Danish maritime industry faces a significant challenge in securing the maritime competencies of the future, especially within the technically oriented disciplines. If companies cannot provide the necessary manpower, the tasks will move out of the country and the EU, and we risk losing the skills and earnings. Therefore, we need to ensure that the total talent pool that the maritime industry can recruit from is as large as possible and has the relevant technical competencies. To ensure this there is a need for a joint effort to upskill and reskill workers in the maritime industry. For the industry, employees with the right skills are crucial, as many companies and workplaces are extremely knowledge-intensive. With this project, we will help to ensure that the right competencies are developed and that more people open their eyes to a vibrant and essential industry in Europe.
