IMarEST flies the flag for the industry at LISW25

The Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST) is putting on a strong showing at London International Shipping Week events in 2025, with presence at four major events. The Institute, which is the global home for all marine professionals, will use the internationally renowned shipping and maritime event to champion sustainability, safety, innovation, and crew welfare.

Chris Goldsworthy, CEO of the IMarEST, said: “As a global marine institute headquartered in the UK, London International Shipping Week is right on our doorstep. We’re proud to fly the flag for our industry and excited to maximise our global impact on a range of issues that matter to our members.”
