  2. The role of the Danish Maritime Authority • To promote health and safety on clean sea AND • to effectively strengthen the competitiveness and employment of the maritime industries. To achieve this, better and less burdensome regulation is needed!

  3. From where do the administrative burdens arise? In Danish maritime regulation Action neededon all levels

  4. Finding out where the shoepinches- asking the seafarers and the land offices • 796 Danish seafarerstook part – amongthem 181 shipmasters • 72 % of major Danish shipownerscontributed • 95 % of gross tonnage in the Danish merchant marine is covered

  7. Importantmessagesfrom seafarers (Masters) "The last 10 years have seen a tremendous increase in the administrative side of the job" "Paperwork in itself does not help me to run a safe and efficient ship" Sometimes I think paperwork is more important than the actual quality of the ship and crew" " I think we are at a tipping point… More paperwork might result in less safety"

  8. Seafarersfeelthey have novoice FROM LAND TO SEA "What if we had a system to suggest adaptations and removal of inappropriate procedures?" TO LAND FROM SEA "Many of us feel that we are the last link in the chain and cannot feed enough back" "Could we have more proper and efficient channels to deal with unfit procedures?"

  9. Shipownersalso have someissues "Werespect national maritime authorities – but theycanalso give us a hard time" "A more thoroughdigitalisation of interactionswithauthoritieswouldhelpus" "Toomany flag state-specificrulesareunnecessary " "Often, we have to submitdocumentationthat is not useful – orrequirestoomuch time" "Ourworld is complex – and wewish for fast and solid assistance from authorities to alwaysbeavailable"

  10. The way forward? • Mechanisms (national, EU, IMO) to assess consequences when putting forward new procedures. • Evaluation of existing regulation • Less manual working procedures • More standardisation and digitalisation • Better coordination, exchange and sharing of data • one stop-shop (inspections, ports, authorities)

  11. Cutting red tape can be a gift in itself
