The London International Shipping Week (LISW) which takes place (11-15 September) is a major event in the maritime industry which is held every two years in the UK capital.

LISW 23 is a week-long event that brings together leaders and professionals from the global shipping industry, including ship owners, brokers, traders, regulators, and other stakeholders.

Since its inception a decade ago in September, 2013, LISW has aimed to promote London as a leading hub for international maritime trade and provide a platform for networking, discussions, and the exchange of ideas.

During LISW 23, a wide range of activities will take place, including conferences, seminars, exhibitions, receptions, and social events. These events cover various topics related to shipping, such as market trends, regulations, technology advancements, sustainability, finance, and more.

As the umbrella body for the maritime sector, Maritime UK represents one of the key pillars in delivering the week along with Shipping Innovation, Department for Transport, British Ports Association, Baltic Exchange, Maritime London, The Society of Maritime Industries, UK Chamber of Shipping and UK Major Ports Group.

Maritime UK is responsible for organising several headline components of the week.
