Our event will be held on Thursday. London is a home away from home for many global shipping industry executives. Being the first event of the year this event has become a calendar event with many participants from the US, Europe and further afield joining the local crowd of well over 300 delegates. London has a global focus on chartering, S&P, insurance and risk, and - more and more shipping investors and alternative finance sources abound. The event is a welcome start to any year and provides a forum for thought and forecast about the 12 months ahead.
