You can watch the trailer here and book tickets for the joint screening with the BPA here.On the Tuesday morning we will be hosting our ‘Maritime Trade Global Britain’ event at 30 Park Street which will focus on how modern Free Trade Agreements will benefit the UK and its trading partners.

You can still register your place here.On Thursday, again at 30 Park Street, we will be hosting our ‘Voyage to Decarbonisation’ event which will discuss how shipping companies can navigate the most disruptive period in shipping history and head toward a sustainable low carbon future. The Shipping Minister Robert Courts will be in attendance and will deliver the key note speech. Thank you to our sponsors DNV, Bureau Veritas and ABS for supporting this event.The events come thick and fast and at the end of the month we will be hosting our two-day Safety Culture Conference.
