Quality Shipping • We have rules, guidelines and registration systems. • Do we need more rules ? • Administrative burdens (paper overload)?
Lower administrative burdens – the Danish experience – more time on safety • Have since 2005 worked vigorously to fulfil the governments objective to reduce companies administrative burdens by up to 25 percent in 2010. • How much can we do within the maritime sector? • How much can we do on board the ships?
There is more to quality shipping than clean certificates Not just complying, but adding value through effective operations of safe vessels on clean oceans with healthy seafarers
