Global Maritime healthcare specialist VIKAND has demonstrated its commitment to London International Shipping Week (LISW) by becoming a Sponsor.  

LISW23 will take place from September 11 to 15, host to the maritime world next September, with hundreds of events attracting thousands of international industry decision-makers into London during the week. 

VIKAND’s sponsorship of LISW and our appearance at the event will help promote our proactive healthcare approach to the maritime industry.  

Unlike other maritime healthcare suppliers, VIKAND regards the management of crew health in terms of asset management. Seafarers are the most important asset onboard ships, and they do require our full support and attention to be able to perform their duties safely. If their overall physical and mental health is looked after properly then they will perform their tasks more effectively and safely, for improved vessel operations. 

Our experienced medical professionals ensure this happens so that rather than viewing a medical services supplier as a cost, VIKAND believes that ship owners will learn to regard it as a worthwhile investment in the long-term health of their crews which will lead to better run ships with less incidents and accidents.  

This prestigious event was born out of the notion that London and the UK would benefit from greater visibility to promote itself internationally as a leading global maritime hub in the supply of a broad range of professional business services to the international shipping community. 

Having grown consistently since its inception in 2013, LISW is now beyond question one of the most important international shipping and maritime events in the world.  

It is now a fixture in the calendars of global shipping communities including regulators, charterers, ship owners, ship managers, shipbrokers, insurers, lawyers, bankers, ports and shipping service providers and all those involved in the shipping world.
