Charting the way ahead to maritime growth
This forum, hosted by the City of London will be chaired by the Lord Mayor, the author of the Mountevans Report.
A year on from the publication of the UK Maritime Growth Study and its Recommendations, this high-level event will serve as a platform for stakeholders from government and across the UK’s maritime sector to examine how the Recommendations are being implemented and, and to consider the next steps required to achieve the maximum growth of the industry as a whole. It will also look at opportunities for maritime players arising from Brexit.
The event is organised by Maritime London and the City of London Corporation, in conjunction with Maritime UK and the Department of Transport. The conference will conclude with the Drinks Reception.
