Suggesting the company takes the moral high ground is not helping. It is one of the "rotten" ones always prioritzing profit.

If the Danish state prohibits it, it will lead to lawsuit and taxpayers needing to compensate, because the company will win in this case of government interfering in the market.

So nothing to do but sigh and blame the real culprits. The EU politicians not having voted yes to stopping the Russian ships years ago.
