A number of Danish maritime enterprises will receive a greeting from the DMA before the summer holiday. The maritime conversion pool is earmarked for 6 green maritime demonstration projects, promoting innovation, growth and jobs in the Blue Denmark.

Money has, inter alia, been earmarked for constructing ships by new and lighter materials and for developing new and more energy-saving trawls for fishing vessels. There has been great interest in the pool. The Danish Maritime Authority has received a total of 17 applications for a total amount applied for of almost DKK 50 million.

The maritime conversion pool is an initiative from the Government’s Plan for Growth in the Blue Denmark. DKK 20 million have been earmarked for the pool, which is included in the Government and the Red-Green Alliance’s (Enhedslisten) green conversion package.
