The Danish Pleasure Crafts Safety Board was established in 1967 under the then Department of Trade and Industry to create a forum for the work for safety of persons exercising water sports – including recreational diving. The Danish Pleasure Crafts Safety Board is composed of organizations, which together represents approximately 175,000 persons exercising leisure activities in Danish Waters. The Danish Maritime Authority points out the chairman of the board.

The aims of the Danish Pleasure Crafts Safety Board are:

• to promote safety for persons using the sea
• to coordinate the efforts of the member organizations to increase the sea safety of leisure boats
• to launch initiatives to prevent accidents within the above mentioned areas
• to act in an advisory capacity to the Danish Maritime Authority in cases relating to this area and
• to produce information material and carry out other initiatives to fulfil the Board’s aim.
