As London International Shipping Week 2027 builds momentum, Dryad Global will help shape the conversation around resilience, cyber risk and operational security across the maritime sector.

London International Shipping Week 2027 is already building strong momentum, with major sponsors and partners confirmed well ahead of the event. Official announcements from LISW have confirmed Inmarsat Maritime as the “Brought to You By” sponsor for LISW27 and the Port of London Authority as its first ever Host Port sponsor, underlining the event’s growing focus on innovation, resilience, ports and strategic leadership across global shipping.

Against that backdrop, Dryad Global is proud to announce its role as Maritime Risk and Cybersecurity Sector Partner for LISW27.

This is a significant opportunity for Dryad Global to contribute to one of the most important conversations in maritime: how the industry strengthens resilience in an operating environment shaped by rising geopolitical tension, increasing digital dependency and a growing convergence between physical and cyber risk.

As vessels, fleets and port operations become more connected, maritime cyber risk can no longer be treated as a narrow technical issue. Dryad Global’s recent analysis highlights how threats such as GPS interference, AIS spoofing, malware in port infrastructure and the growing overlap between cyber activity and wider regional security dynamics are turning cyber risk into an operational and strategic concern for the sector.

That shift is exactly why LISW27 matters.

The week will bring together shipowners, operators, policymakers, ports, insurers, legal experts and technology leaders to address the issues that will define the future of maritime. With LISW27 placing particular emphasis on innovation, technology, ports and terminals, Dryad Global’s sector partnership positions the company at the centre of discussions about how maritime organisations can improve situational awareness, strengthen cyber resilience and make better-informed operational decisions.

For Dryad Global, this is not simply about visibility during a major industry event. It is about helping shape practical, commercially relevant dialogue around maritime security and resilience at a time when the stakes are rising.

The maritime industry is facing a more contested environment, where supply chains, communications, navigation systems and port infrastructure are all under greater pressure. Resilience now depends on being able to see risk clearly, understand its operational implications and act with confidence.

LISW27 will provide a powerful platform for that discussion, and Dryad Global is delighted to play a leading role in it.
