S-100 in focus: London International Shipping Week 2025

Join the UK Hydrographic Office and leading industry voices at London International Shipping Week 2025 for a live panel discussion on the future of digital navigation.

The session will be opened by Elinor Skelley, Chief Customer Officer at the UKHO and facilitated by Guy Mock, Head of Customer Experience. The panel will explore S-100 from diverse perspectives from across the S-100 ecosystem; from data production and software integration to simulation, operational testing and bridge-level application.

• Date: Thursday 18 September 2025
• Time: 11:00 - 13:30 BST (Registration from 10:30)
• Venue: Sea Containers, 18 Upper Ground, London SE1 9RQ 

Join the UKHO and industry experts for a live panel discussion exploring the real-world impact of S-100. 

Secure your seat at S-100 in focus and be part of the conversation.

The discussion will reflect early findings from this year’s S-100 sea trials, part of a wider research and development effort led by the UKHO and its partners. These live trials are testing how S-100 performs in operational settings and helping shape the industry’s readiness for implementation. Attendees will be able to ask questions during an interactive Q&A and network with peers over lunch, overlooking the Thames.
