Captain Lee Clarke MN AFRIN – Managing Director | Isle of Man Maritime Introducing LISW25 Sponsorship and Event Sponsors.

• Anchored in Nature: The Isle of Man is the world’s only entire nation designated as a UNESCO Biosphere. This means everything we do — from shipping to innovation — is rooted in a commitment to protect and live in balance with the natural environment. As stewards of a marine ecosystem that supports commerce, culture, and conservation, our Biosphere identity is more than a badge — it’s a way of life.
• Powered by Maritime: From centuries of maritime heritage to being a modern global shipping and tech hub, the Isle of Man continues to lead in vessel registration, digital transformation, and marine services. Our maritime sector powers economic growth, job creation, and international collaboration — always with sustainability at its core.

🌍 Anchored in Nature, Powered by Maritime – With Our Sponsors 🌍

Our sponsors are at the heart of the Isle of Man Maritime story at this year’s London International Shipping Week. Each one has chosen to support our flagship event because they believe in the Island’s unique role as a centre of maritime excellence – and as the world’s only entire UNESCO Biosphere Nation.

Through their sponsorship, they are helping us shine a spotlight on how the Isle of Man is demonstrating that maritime growth and environmental stewardship can work hand in hand. From innovation and sustainability to community and global connectivity, our sponsors represent the very best of what the Isle of Man has to offer the world.

Watch their videos below to hear, in their own words, why they are backing the Isle of Man Maritime event at LISW25 – and how together we are charting a course for a greener, more responsible maritime future.

At Isle of Man Maritime, our commitment to the environment goes beyond words – it’s embedded in action. That’s why we are proud to support three outstanding organisations whose work reflects our shared values of sustainability, responsibility, and stewardship of the natural world.

• Manx Wildlife Trust – Protecting and enhancing the Island’s unique landscapes, habitats, and species for future generations.

• EyeSea – Harnessing maritime technology and community action to track, map, and tackle marine pollution across the globe.

• Biosphere Isle of Man – Celebrating the Isle of Man’s status as the only entire nation recognised by UNESCO for its harmonious balance between people, nature, and economy.

Together, these initiatives represent the very best of environmental leadership – local, global, and symbolic. By supporting them, we are reinforcing our belief that the maritime sector has a vital role to play in safeguarding our oceans, our island, and our shared future.

THIS EVENT IS NOW FULLY BOOKED.

Previous event venues have included the Kathleen & May (a three-masted wooden tall ship), the glass walkway of Tower Bridge and the NLB Pharos and aboard the Golden Hinde on the south bank of the Thames, for their ‘Exploring the future with IoM Maritime’ event.  This Year’s event is still under wraps and we will be making an announcement in due course.
