In September, the Embassy of Denmark in Washington DC welcomed our new Maritime Advisor, Malte Kofoed Søndergaard.

For the last four years, Malte worked at the Danish Maritime Authority focusing on maritime business policies and was part of the team developing the Danish Government’s Growth Plan for Denmark’s maritime cluster. Moreover, Malte has been involved in the Danish Maritime Authority’s international cooperation, especially with a focus on West Africa.

At the Embassy Malte will be the main responsible for the political dialogue on maritime affairs between Denmark and the United States and closely follow policy developments in areas of importance to the maritime sector, including Jones Act, trade policy, sanctions, infrastructure etc.
