In Denmark, trade association Danish Shipping has endorsed Denmark’s new Africa Strategy, urging both Denmark and the EU to intensify investments in Africa to unlock the continent’s vast potential for green energy and economic growth. Maritime security is also a key focus for Danish Shipping, which aims to strengthen trade, security, and the green transition in the region through ongoing dialogue with African partners.
Anne H. Steffensen, CEO of Danish Shipping said, “If we want to bring Africa closer to us – both geopolitically and economically – we must ensure that African countries also see an improvement in their prosperity. And here, cooperation on green energy has enormous potential, as it can turn more African countries into net exporters of green fuels, which shipping will depend on.”
Danish Shipping advocates for concrete financial commitments, particularly through the EU’s Global Gateway initiative, which seeks to improve infrastructure, including transport and port facilities, across Africa. This initiative is seen as vital for creating green corridors that will facilitate the shipping industry’s transition to sustainable fuels.
