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

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

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

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

Denmark has more than 7000 km of coastline. The commercial ports in
Denmark are placed strategically all across Denmark. About 70.000
people are employed by ports or in connection with ports. About 80
percent of all Danish foreign trade goes via Danish ports.

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.

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.

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 800.000 visitors each
year. Within the EU, Denmark has the third largest number of passengers.

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.
