London International Shipping Week is the pinnacle biennial showcase event underlining the world-class maritime sector in London – and the rest of the UK – to an international audience.
Following the runaway success of LISW25, LISW27, to be held on 13–17 September 2027, will comprise over 350 official industry events and functions, offering a huge array of networking and engagement opportunities for leaders across all sectors of the international shipping industry – regulators, charterers, ship owners, ship managers, bunker suppliers, lawyers, ship brokers, bankers, insurers, insurance brokers, commodity traders and brokers, ship suppliers, port operators, shipping service providers, and with the support and participation of many UK government departments.
The LISW27 Headline Conference and Gala Dinner will again attract the very highest-level government and shipping industry leaders from the UK and around the world to discuss the key issues of the moment, keeping shipping at the forefront of an ever-changing world.
For the second time, LISW27 will feature the Global Hub at County Hall, which will bring together international delegations, government ministers, ambassadors, CEOs, and industry leaders for two days of high-level seminars, exhibitions, and networking focused on global maritime trade, innovation, sustainability, and investment.
London International Shipping Week is organised by Shipping Innovation together with the support and cooperation of the Department for Transport, British Ports Association, Baltic Exchange, Maritime London, Maritime UK, The Society of Maritime Industries, UK Chamber of Shipping and UK Major Ports Group. LISW was created and is produced by Shipping Innovation – a joint venture between Elaborate Communications and ship.energy (formerly Petrospot).
London remains the beating heart of the international maritime industry, which is why the maritime world consistently returns to London to do business.
