European Shipping Week is intended to be a platform where policy-makers from the main EU institutions will meet and engage with European shipowners and other stakeholders from the shipping sector. The focus is on shipping, in all its different aspects.

The week-long series of high level events will centre on a major conference discussing the key issues currently facing European and global shipping as well as a gala dinner, both taking place on 1 March 2017.

This week will bring together the major players in the shipping industry with the primary aim of promoting the strengths and the importance of European and global shipping to legislators in Brussels, such as the European Commission, European Parliament and the Council of Ministers and is regarded as a unique opportunity to meet the heads of leading shipping companies in Europe.
