Pioneer shipowner Tsakos Energy Navigation (TEN), which has been a publicly-listed maritime company for more than 30 years, has given its backing to the highly anticipated Headline Conference of London International Shipping Week 2025 (LISW25).

The LISW25 Headline Conference will once again be held at the prestigious London headquarters of the International Maritime Organization and will be attended by some of the world’s most prominent shipping and government leaders. There will be much to discuss as shipping endeavours to meet its stringent global decarbonisation goals by 2050 and milestone targets. High-level speakers will delve into shipping’s macroeconomics and consider the geopolitical dynamics which have the potential to de-rail world trade.
