Thought leaders from the world of government, finance, international trade, shipowning and insurance as well as artificial intelligence innovation and technology will headline the speaker line-up at the flagship London International Shipping Week 2017 (LISW17) conference to be held at the Grosvenor House Hotel on London’s Park Lane, on Thursday 14th September.

London has been voted the world’s leading financial maritime city, according to a report published by Menon Economics.

Maritime UK will draw on the successes of its very recent trade mission to Shanghai by organising a ‘China Day’ during the forthcoming London International Shipping Week 2017 (LISW17), due to be held in Britain’s capital from September 11 to 15.

David Dingle CBE, Maritime UK Chairman, said:

“Now that a snap general election has been confirmed, the maritime sector will be looking to the political parties to set out their manifestos to deliver economic stability, certainty, and predictability over the course of the next Parliament.
