Lloyd’s Register has been announced as a Bronze Sponsor for Maritime UK Week. Starting on 10 October, Maritime UK Week 2022 will shine a spotlight on the latest developments in the maritime sector and engage people across the UK with the world of maritime.
Maritime sector
Responsible for enabling 95% of the UK’s global trade, maritime touches every part of everyone's lives. As an island nation, during the pandemic, the maritime sector’s key workers kept the UK supplied with food, energy, and medicine.
While moving toward a greener industry, the sector is investing and growing all around the UK and needs talented people to join us. Throughout the week people around the country are invited to explore the world of maritime through a series of careers fairs and open days.
Sustainability, innovation, and diversity
Lloyd’s Register is the world’s first marine classification society to improve the safety of ships
There will also be a programme of events bringing maritime professionals together to help make progress on key issues like sustainability, innovation, and diversity and inclusion in the sector.
Lloyd’s Register is a global professional services company specialising in engineering and technology for the maritime industry. They are the world’s first marine classification society, created more than 260 years ago to improve the safety of ships.
Maritime energy transition
Working across Marine and Offshore, they are a provider of classification and compliance services to the marine and offshore industries, helping their clients design, construct and operate their assets to the highest levels of safety and environmental compliance.

Decarbonisation and digitalisation
Mike Holliday, Lloyd's Register UK&I Area manager said, "Lloyd’s Register is proud to support Maritime UK Week 2022, which presents a fantastic opportunity for the UK maritime industry to come together as a collective and unite our voice as we respond to the challenges of decarbonisation and digitalisation.”
Ben Murray, Chief Executive at Maritime UK, said, “We are delighted to have Lloyd’s Register’s support for Maritime UK Week. LR is at the heart of the UK’s maritime sector and its global offering.
