The Danish Maritime Authority hosted the annual maritime dialogue meeting between Denmark and Korea, where discussions on Danish–Korean cooperation were on the agenda

South Korea is among the world leaders in the technological development of shipping and an important partner for Denmark as well as the Danish maritime industry.

Therefore, on 4 September, the Danish Maritime Authority was pleased to host South Korea’s Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOF) for the annual maritime dialogue meeting, with participation from the Korean Register, the Korea Maritime Institute, the Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO), as well as the Danish Embassy in Korea.

The day’s programme featured discussions on future Danish–Korean cooperation in maritime areas such as decarbonisation, digitalisation and Arctic research, along with a constructive dialogue on the path towards ambitious climate regulation in the IMO.

Danish Shipping and Danish Maritime took part in the second session of the day, which invited an open dialogue on possible collaborations between Korea and Danish shipping companies and maritime businesses.
