GREAT UK Maritime - Why Trade in the UK?
At our event on 11th September 2023 at the Global Maritime Hub we discussed how government and industry can work together to drive forward the UK’s competitive advantage.
Nusrat Ghani MP, Minister of State for Industry and Economic Security, opened the event as keynote speaker, saying:
"Welcome to London International Shipping Week. A chance to celebrate maritime and showcase the breadth of amazing things happening across the sector. This is the 10th anniversary of the week so it feels like an extra reason to celebrate.
"This week is a brilliant demonstration of how vibrant and innovative the maritime sector is in this country – and how critical it is for trade, resilience and achieving our Net Zero ambitions."
We then hosted a panel discussion, moderated by Jos Standerwick CEO of Maritime London and featuring as panel members:
