Only 72 bulkers are owned by Danish shipping companies, according to shipbroker Clarksons. That total is far less than the 341 containerships, 281 tankers and even the 84 cruise and passenger vessels in Danish hands.
But the data disguises the emergence, or some argue the re-emergence, of Copenhagen as a hub for dry bulk shipping.
Claes Devantier, who has been leading the expansion of Maersk Broker’s dry cargo operations, says the Danish capital is now home to more than 30 bulker owners and operators.
