Taking place from 13th to 17th September 2027, LISW27 will bring together maritime leaders, policymakers, regulators, shipowners, technology providers and professional services organisations from around the world for a week of high-level discussion, networking and business engagement.



Through its continued support for LISW, IRClass has played an active role in encouraging dialogue on many of the industry’s most important priorities. Its participation in LISW27 also reflects the organisation’s expanding international presence and its commitment to advancing maritime safety, sustainability, technical standards and innovation.

We are pleased to continue our association with LISW and to be part of LISW27 as an International Partner. As the maritime industry navigates the transition towards safer, greener and more technology-driven shipping, international cooperation and the sharing of expertise will be critical. IRClass looks forward to contributing to these discussions and strengthening partnerships across the global maritime community.”



Sean Moloney co-founder and Joint CEO of LISW, added: “We are delighted to welcome the Indian Register of Shipping back to London International Shipping Week as an International Partner for LISW27.
