We believe it is important to have an organisational link in London, still the world's premier maritime centre.

London is the headquarters of the International Maritime Organisation, the location of the largest insurance market, and houses a significant ship-broking community, apart from the many other professional services related to shipping.

We ship owners and our predecessors, all the way back to the dawn of history, operating in majority on private initiative and at our own risk, have been linking the world together much more effectively than governments ever managed to do or will likely ever be capable of doing.

I believe in London

The centre of the system of the world is immovable.

George Bush was for me the most important ally on the road to German unity.
