Danish Maritime Authority

The maritime sector is undergoing a rapid technological transformation as autonomous systems, green fuels and alternative ship designs are introduced at an unprecedented pace. It is essential to ensure that human factors remain central in the development of maritime systems and regulation - for the benefit of seafarers and maritime safety. 

Against this background, the Danish Maritime Authority is bringing human factors and human-centred design principles on the international agenda. In October 2025 the Danish Maritime Authority gathered participants from maritime authorities, class societies and seafarers for an international Regulators’ Forum in Copenhagen.

Shipping is undergoing a rapid technological development. New technologies such as green fuels, alternative ship designs and innovative equipment are being introduced at an unseen high pace.

This challenges the maritime governance. Flag State Administrations and Recognised Organisations are already working with alternative design approvals.

In October 2024 the Danish Maritime Authority gathered over 40 participants from countries all over the world to the Regulators Forum 2024.
