THE LORD MAYOR’S ANNUAL GRESHAM EVENT
London’s maritime cluster is a tremendous success story. While the docks have migrated out of the centre and international dominance has been challenged, London remains an enourmous shipping centre, perhaps the world’s largest.
From the Baltic Exchange and the shipbroking community to shipowners, insurers, commercial and investment banking, trade finance, commodities, legal and accountancy services – the scale of modern maritime London is awe inspiring.
London is a leading place for specialist education in these areas and also has unrivalled expertise in the provision of services to the global shipping community, including dispute resolution, class and survey work, as well as maritime innovation and technology. We will celebrate the achievements of centuries, and look forward to the challenges of centuries to come.
Introduction by the Lord Mayor of the City of London followed by a symposium with Alderman Professor Michael Mainelli, Dr Heather McLaughlin, Nikolas Tsakos and Professor Costas Grammenos.
