3 Key objectives for Danish Ports The Ambition of Danish Ports To increase the competitiveness, business development and reputation among all the Danish ports and for each of the individual members Key objectives of Danish Ports To influence ports' interests in relation to politicians, authorities and transport organisations in Denmark and the EU To direct focus on ports' role as key nodes in the transport chains To create better framework conditions for the business development of ports To disseminate knowledge and create facilities for knowledge sharing To strengthen the sense of community between ports and among groups of ports 3

4 What characterize the European port sector? 40% of the European ports are owned by the state 35% of the European ports are owned by the municipalities 25% of the European ports are privately owned or owned by e.g. trust funds (2010, ESPO) 4

5 Danish Ports at a glance 1. Danish ports are mainly owned by municipalities 2. 80% of all Danish foreign trade goes via Danish ports 3. Danish Ports represents 99% of all cargo turnover in all Danish ports 4. Total cargo turnover were 88 million ton in In Denmark fishery is considered as cargo Value of fish landed in Danish ports represents 538 million EUR with a yearly export turnover from the fishing industry of 2.7 billion EUR 6. Denmark is the 3 rd largest EU country concerning passenger handling 7. Multimodal transportation is important. 57% of the ton km is transported by ship in Denmark 8. Maritime services equals 50 % of the Danish service export 9. The total share of throughput places Danish ports fourth among the largest ports in Europe 10. The five largest ports in Denmark handles about 60% of the goods 5

6 Diversity in the European port sector - Common challenges and European role? (I) GLOBAL AND GENERAL CHALLENGES A level playing field between ports inside the EU and towards non EU members A clear definition of state aid concerning port infrastructure and services An incorporation of shipping (maritime trade and transportation) in the EU internal market, creating a level playing field between different modes of transport and stimulating multimodality 6

7 Diversity in the European port sector - Common challenges and European role? (II) A FRAMEWORK FOR INVESTMENTS IN PORTS Fair competition and a stable legal framework Important factors: The EU ports regulation Definition of EU guidelines for state aid Evaluation of the regulation for maritime security in ports Adding the TEN-T program to the Refit Program Giving access for more ports in the comprehensive network A possible mix of the TEN-T calls 7

8 Diversity in the European port sector - Common challenges and European role? (III) PORT CONNECTIVITY TO LAND AND MARITIME TRANSPORT SECA is a challenge Different national perceptions of state aid in ports is a challenge Low investment in rail cargo infrastructure and access ways to ports from hinterland and sea is a challenge INNOVATION IN PORTS LOGISTICS Demand and competition is a key driver for innovation in ports The ability of ports to invest and fill out the gaps in the value chain and transport chain to optimise attractiveness for local business and operators As an example this also covers circular economy in reusing heat, warm water or waste within the port area or in a wider context 8

9 Diversity in the European port sector - Common challenges and European role? (IV) PORTS, ENERGY SECURITY AND CLIMATE POLICY Including energy, environment and climate initiatives in port investments Strategic use of the port role in the transport chain, e.g. SECA and investments in on-shore electricity and LNG A TEN-T mix call for the offshore wind infrastructure (building, operating and servicing wind farms and hinterland access) and investing in port wind facilities PORT CITIES The European strategy for circular economy and making environmental management economically sustainable including EU funding, e.g. TEN-T Environmental best practise platform: ESPO Green Guide, GreenPort and EcoPorts Maritime Spatial Planning and the necessity of industrial buffer zones. Possible guidelines for EU port cities 9

10 Danish Ports at a glance The following slide statistics show a picture of Danish maritime trade and transport characterized by short sea shipping, ro-ro, passengers and multimodality 1. Throughput of goods in Danish ports by seaport and unit 2. Throughput of goods in international traffic in major Danish ports by seaport, direction and country 3. In Denmark fishery is considered as cargo 4. Domestic and international ferry passenger transport 5. Denmark is the 3 rd largest EU country concerning passenger handling 6. Multimodal transportation 7. Maritime services = 50 % of the Danish service export 8. Volumes in the largest ports in Europe 9. Danish Ports members - Throughput in the member ports by volume 10

11 Throughput of goods in Danish ports by seaport and unit Throughput of goods in Danish ports by seaport and unit Ports total, (1000 ton) Denmark has more than 7000 km of coastline. The commercial ports in Denmark are placed strategically all across Denmark. About people are employed by ports or in connection with ports. About 80 percent of all Danish foreign trade goes via Danish ports. (Statistics Denmark) 11

12 Throughput of goods in international traffic in major Danish ports by seaport, direction and country Throughput of goods in international traffic in major Danish ports by seaport, direction and country Unit: 1000 ton Netherlands Germany United Kingdom Norway Sweden Countries not specified About 80 percent of all Danish foreign trade goes via Danish ports. As the figure illustrates, short sea shipping is vital for Danish trade. The geographical location of Denmark enables a link to the global value chain. According to OECD, efficient logistics allows for a 8-16 per cent value increase. Denmark s position and not least efficiency and vigilance has ensured that Denmark adds significant value to the value chain. This is where Denmark's true strength lies. And it could be strengthened even further through a level playing field within the European Union. (Statistics Denmark) 12

13 In Denmark fishery is considered as cargo Total landings of fish and their value Value in 100 EUR Landings in million ton The value of the fish landed in Danish fishery ports represents about 4 billion DKK (538 million EUR). Through value creation in the industry the value grows 5 times to 20 billion DKKR in export turnover. Fish represents a core financial position for Denmark. The fishing industry has a yearly export turnover of 20 billion DKK (2.7 billion EUR) and represents 14 per cent of Denmark s yearly food export. (Statistics Denmark). Denmark is Europe s biggest nation on marine ingredients, used mainly for human consumption or animal feed. Danish Ports represent 11 ports where fishery is a part of the port strategy. 13

14 Domestic and International ferry passenger transport Domestic and International ferry passenger transport Ferry routes total pasengers (1000), Domestic Ferry routes total pasengers (1000), International Denmark is an island kingdom consisting of 406 islands. 78 islands are inhabited and consequently Denmark has a lot of domestic ferry routes. Denmark also has the best cruise destination, according to Bon Voyage 2014: Copenhagen Malmö Port with more than visitors each year. Within the EU, Denmark has the third largest number of passengers. (Eurostat and Statistics Denmark) 14

15 Denmark is the 3 rd largest EU country concerning passenger handling 15

16 2013 International transport of goods by mode of transportation Multimodal transportation 2013 National transport of goods - by mode of transportation (ton km) Lorries Rail transport of goods Ships Lorries Rail transport of goods Ships Fair competition and a level playing field is needed between the various modes of transport to make shipping more attractive and to help release capacity on road transport. World Economic Forum s Global Competitiveness Index shows a need for a European multimodal strategy with better and seamless connections between the different modes of transport. In general, port infrastructure is competitive. But there is a need for better access to ports from the hinterland and the water, e.g. investments in rail cargo transport. Denmark is a key transport gateway for the EU trade with Norway. But with Norway only being a partner in the European Free Trade Association the TEN-T corridor does not cover the total continental route also cutting of the second core port of Denmark in Aarhus.

In 2013 about half of the Danish service export and about 40 per cent of Danish service import came from shipping. (Statistics Denmark) 17
