The UK Chamber of Shipping’s new conference Shipping UK, and London International Shipping Week. (LISW) have announced a partnership as Supporting Organisations for the coming future.

Both parties have agreed to support each other with marketing and PR support to help establish Shipping UK and help grow LISW domestically as well as internationally.

Shipping UK

Llewellyn Bankes-Hughes, CEO and co-founder of LISW said, “The UK Chamber of Shipping originated almost 150 years ago and has long been held in the highest esteem both in the UK and abroad, and its forward-looking ambitions and sharp focus on thought leadership in the shipping sector dovetail perfectly with the ethos of London International Shipping Week."

"Its inaugural conference on 8 October will help ensure that the dialogue remains current and relevant in each of the fallow years between future LISWs, and I am looking forward to a long, strong, and mutually successful partnership.”

Addressing key maritime issues

Rhett Hatcher (pictured), CEO of the UK Chamber of Shipping, said, “We aim to establish our Shipping UK conference in the alternate years between LISWs. This will help the industry to continue discussing key issues in London and give UK Chamber members and non-members, the opportunity to come together and network."

While Shipping UK offers a completely different event to the very successful LISW, we see great synergy in helping each other raise the profile of these important industry events, and becoming ‘Supporting Organisations’ seems a great way to achieve this,” he added. Shipping UK will take place on October 8th at the Queen Elizabeth II Centre in London. 

LISW25

London International Shipping Week 2025 (LISW25) will play host to the maritime world in the week of 15-19 September 2025, with hundreds of events attracting thousands of international industry decision-makers to London.

The variety of in-person events will be the broadest yet, while the competition is already heating up among sponsors eager to organise the most attractive networking events at the most glamourous venues in London.
