Denmark has a large merchant fleet relative to its size. In 2018, the fleet surpassed 20 million [[Gross tonnage|gt]] as the government sought to repatriate Danish-owned tonnage registered abroad, with measures including removal of the registration fee.<ref>{{cite web |title=Historic growth in Danish shipping registries continues |url=https://eng.em.dk/news/2018/juni/historic-growth-in-danish-shipping-registries-continues |website=Ministry of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs |access-date=10 March 2019}}</ref>
