UK Ship Register leads latest influx of sponsors

The UK Ship Register (UKSR), a long-time supporter of?LISW, has come on board as a Platinum Sponsor, leading the latest wave of sponsors eager to make the most of the event’s 10th anniversary celebrations in September.

With all sponsors eligible to organise their own officially sanctioned events during the week, the LISW23 event calendar is starting to fill up and over 300 individual events are now expected to take place throughout London.

The UK Flag is an important part of the UK maritime offer, recognised for its leading global performance in maritime safety, the welfare of seafarers and protection of the marine environment. With thousands of international visitors expected and a full agenda of events, the UK Flag team will be available throughout the week to shine a spotlight on the value it offers, its significant expertise, a personal and tailored service and non-negotiable safety standards.

The UK Flag expanded its international eligibility in 2019 and has been able to offer more choice and flexibility to its customers. Registration fees are amongst some of the most competitive globally and there is no annual flag tax to pay. The introduction of the Alternative Compliance Scheme means customers can also take advantage of a dedicated team of world-renowned Maritime & Coastguard Agency (MCA) surveyors or have the flexibility of being able to delegate to Class.

At LISW21, the MCA showcased its commitment and work in decarbonisation. Since then, the UK Flag team has set out to support innovative?UK registered ship owners and operators with a personalised advice. The UKSR has seen a succession of newbuild LNG and Hydrogen dual fuelled vessels join its fleet as customers look to trusted MCA expertise on the transition to more sustainable shipping.
