In short
Reading time: 1 min- What changes:
- The fee for a certificate of valid insurance or guarantee has been raised from DKK 50 to DKK 465.
- The executive order now also applies to the Faroe Islands, but still not to Greenland.
- The penalty provision has simply been rewritten so that each section and subsection is mentioned separately; the content is the same.
- Who: The rules apply to owners of certain ships that carry passengers. They must apply to the Danish Maritime Authority for a certificate. Owners of foreign ships do not have to apply, however, if they already have a certificate that can be recognised.
- When: The executive order will enter into force on 1 January 2027.
