Shipowners Social gathering

Our Story

About Shipowners Social

Created by shipowners, for the shipping community. A simple idea that grew into something worth keeping.

The only thing we could think of was a large event where we all get together and pay the bar bill.

How It Started

The Idea

A group of like-minded professionals at shipowning entities in the Gulf wanted to show that shipowners in this region all work together to help each other and get the job done.

Offshore First

Starting with offshore shipowners, the first events brought together people who already worked alongside each other but rarely had the chance to connect properly.

The Community Grew

Word spread. The appetite for honest, relaxed conversation turned out to be far bigger than any one sector. Brokers, lawyers, insurers, and financiers started asking how to get involved.

What's Next

The community now spans the wider shipping and maritime world, and we soon expect that reach to extend internationally.

Simple rule: no lanyards

The Spirit

No panels. No presentations. No lanyards. Just good company, honest conversation, and the relationships that matter. Business casual. A premium but relaxed atmosphere.

The kind of evening where the best connections happen naturally.

How to Attend

Attendance is by personal invitation only. Invitations are extended at the discretion of the organising team and are non-transferable.
