Mersey Maritime is gearing up for London International Shipping Week this September. In collaboration with Peel Ports, Liverpool John Moores University and Invest Liverpool, our ‘Investing in a Connected Future’ conference will bring Liverpool to London and throw the doors open to opportunities that exist for business within the UK’s most prestigious Port City.

Hosted by Louise Minchin (BBC Broadcaster and Journalist) and opened by the Rt Hon John Hayes CBE MP, Minister for Transport this pivotal event will look at the big themes in maritime today and what the future holds. Innovators and thought leaders from the sector will share insights and engage in debate with leading figures from other industries such as automotive, digital and manufacturing.
