Maritime

Due to its strategic location, massive trade volume, and ongoing investments in port modernization and sustainability, North America has become a key market for the global maritime sector and serves as a central hub for global supply chains. Our Maritime team creates partnerships in between Danish and North American maritime stakeholders.

The maritime industry in North America is undergoing a major transformation, with a growing demand for decarbonization solutions and the shift toward cleaner energy sources. Both the U.S. and Canada are committed to reducing emissions in their shipping sectors, creating a fertile ground for collaboration and expanding green technologies.

For Denmark, a global leader in maritime sustainability, this transition presents significant opportunities. Danish expertise in e-fuels, energy efficiency, and decarbonization can help accelerate the transformation of North American ports and shipping fleets.

The scale of the U.S. and Canadian maritime sectors, combined with growing political focus on reducing emissions, offers significant opportunities for Danish companies to collaborate, exchange solutions, and drive the future of sustainable maritime transport across the Atlantic.

Biggest trends in the North American maritime sector 

Decarbonization and clean fuels

Driven by regulatory goals and industry demand, there is a strong push towards reducing emissions in the North American maritime industry. This includes the adaption of alternative fuels such as ammonia, biofuels, and e-fuels, as well as the development of zero-emission vessels. Our Future Energy team works to support the expansion of Danish technologies within clean hydrogen and alternative fuels in North America. 

Port modernization and infrastructure investments

North American ports are undergoing major upgrades to accommodate larger vessels, increase automation, and improve sustainability. Investments in smart port infrastructure, digitalization solutions, and the development of green logistic hubs are central to this trend.

Supply chain resiliency

The U.S. and Canada are increasingly focusing on building more resilient and secure maritime supply chains. This includes diversifying sourcing strategies, enhancing cybersecurity measures, and investing in new technologies to improve supply chain transparency and operational reliability.

Renewable energy production

Across North America, ports are exploring the integration of renewable energy systems, including offshore wind, solar power, and hydrogen production to reduce carbon footprint and accommodate demand for cleaner energy production and fuels. Our Wind Energy and Future Energies teams works to create opportunities for Danish companies in the renewable energy space.
