London International Shipping Week sets sail at stock exchange/Ship Efficiency – the Event

Inmarsat Maritime President Frank Coles joined Transport Minister Stephen Hammond and other London International Shipping Week (LISW) VIPs to open trading on the London Stock Exchange yesterday.
Inmarsat is Diamond sponsor of the inaugural LISW, which aims to highlight the UK capital’s vital role in the positive development of global shipping.
As part of this week’s programme, Ship Efficiency: The Event – a conference and exhibition organised by maritime events company Fathom in association with Inmarsat – will look at ways to improve operational and vessel efficiency.
LISW is organised by Shipping Innovation, in association with Maritime UK partners The Baltic Exchange, Maritime London and the UK Chamber of Shipping, and with TheCityUK, the independent promotional body for UK financial and professional services.
All this week it will offer high-level networking opportunities for leaders across all sectors of the international shipping industry.
Ship Efficiency: The Event is taking place today and tomorrow, with representation from Maersk Maritime Technology, Wärtsilä, the Baltic and International Maritime Council and the American Bureau of Shipping.
Inmarsat will chair a free-to-attend seminar on the second day of the event entitled “Driving profit through integrated operations”.
The seminar will include speakers from Eniram, AWT, UK HO and Pole Star and is designed as an open forum to discuss practical solutions and strategies for improving operational and vessel efficiency and, overall, the bottom line profit.
Frank Coles will give keynote addresses at the opening session of Ship Efficiency: The Event and at the LISW gala dinner at Grosvenor House on 12 September.
