Maritime UK hosts London International Shipping Week

This week, 9-September together with industry partners – and with significant Government support – Maritime UK will welcome leaders from across the global shipping, ports and maritime business services sectors to the inaugural London International Shipping Week, Maritime UK said in a press release.

The week is about the UK standing up and telling the world that not only is it proud of its maritime past, but it is building a maritime future too. We will be holding conferences, seminars, briefings and summits – with some of the biggest names in the global industry and the most senior Government Ministers in the country. We will be exchanging ideas and best practice. We will be listening and learning. But above all, we will be showing the world why the UK is still the natural home of international shipping.

Through the week, Maritime UK will be covering all the major stories, announcements and events. On Monday morning we will publish the results of an extensive survey of UK industry leaders, showing us what they think of the UK economy and its competitiveness.
