As of January 1st, 2020, UFDS has introduced a new method of premium differentiation, as the Board has determined a general basic premium and a basic premium per hazard class. The general basic premium for 2025 is DKK 22.00 per sailing day (assignment day) per person. The basic premium per hazard class appears in the table below. Further, a rate per shipping company and hazard class is calculated based on the risk profile of the individual shipping company.
Please note that UFDS is also required to collect a range of statutory and voluntary contributions from Danish Shipping (compensation for war injuries), SEA HEALTH & WELFARE (welfare contribution and health and safety contribution), and the Danish Maritime Authority (health insurance).
All Danish shipping companies must pay these contributions, regardless of whether they have taken out industrial injury insurance with UFDS.

Payment
In December UFDS sends out an assignment list for each policy, which must be filled in and returned with the actual number of sailing days and personnel numbers for the whole year. The final settlement is based on the returned assignment list, which is compared with the premium paid on account. Shipping companies should note that course days must be included in the total number of assignment days reported for the ship. List of sailing days.
Please note that UFDS is also required to collect a range of statutory and voluntary contributions from Danish Shipping (compensation for war injuries), the Danish Government’s Seamen’s Service (welfare contribution), Seahealth Denmark (health and safety contribution) and the Danish Maritime Authority (health insurance).
All Danish shipping companies must pay these contributions, regardless of whether they have taken out industrial injury insurance with UFDS.
