ABS Sponsors LISW25 Gala Dinner
London International Shipping Week is delighted to again welcome the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) as exclusive sponsor for its popular Gala Dinner.
The LISW25 Gala Dinner will return to Evolution London in Battersea Park on Thursday 18 September 2025, where 2,000 guests are expected to celebrate and network over drinks, dinner and dancing long into the night.
Founded in 1862, ABS is a global leader in providing classification services for marine and offshore assets. With a mission to serve the public interest as well as the needs of its members and clients, ABS is committed to promoting the security of life and property, and preserving the natural environment.
Announcing ABS’ support of LISW25, Christopher J. Wiernicki, Chairman and CEO, said: “As the home base for the IMO and with its rich maritime history, the city of London is the ideal location to host industry stakeholders for the exchange of information and ideas. With the energy transition, we are in an era of significant change that brings both challenges and opportunities. LISW is a strategically significant event for us and for many others in the maritime industry, and we are delighted to be part of the 2025 activities.”
The black-tie Gala Dinner will begin with a Champagne Reception, sponsored by international law firm HFW, and will conclude with an exciting After Party, enabling guests to celebrate well into the early hours.
Sponsored by The Bahamas Maritime Authority, a fleet of classic Routemaster London buses will carry guests from the dinner venue at Evolution London to transport hubs in Victoria, Westminster, and Waterloo from where they can continue their journeys by taxi or public transport.
Managing Director and CEO of The Bahamas Maritime Authority, Capt Dwain Hutchinson, said: “The BMA is delighted to once again partner with London International Shipping Week, this year by sponsoring the Gala Dinner Transport.
“London is home to many key maritime institutions and companies and, as such, LISW always welcomes visitors from around the world.
