It’s hard to believe that it was just over one month ago that we closed the doors on the SMI Conference 2024 in Birmingham! We gathered members of industry together to discuss the role of decarbonisation, digitalisation and autonomy in driving change in the UK Maritime Enterprise, with the overall aim of sharing knowledge, facilitating connection and unlocking opportunities. Two days of hugely insightful sessions ensued and now we’re well underway with our plans for the next SMI conference. Details will follow soon, so stay tuned for further announcements! #shippingevent
