This, the publisher claims, will be the most comprehensive source of practical market intelligence, news and analysis in the world today.
Lloyd’s List – a leading news and information source for the global maritime industry – has unveiled Lloyd’s List Intelligence, the world’s first-ever digital subscription service to fully unite up-to-the-minute marine news with in-depth shipping intelligence and structure it around key market areas
“Lloyd’s List Intelligence is founded on the heritage of the maritime industry bible, Lloyd’s List, combined with our unique global network of specialist sources of business-critical maritime data formerly known as Lloyd’s MIU,” explains Fotini Liontou, Chief Executive of Lloyd’s List. “It brings together the expertise of a global staff of maritime analysts and journalists with the most extensive system of shore based and satellite intelligence gathering to create the complete information support service for the maritime industry.”
“The combination of rigorous, independent journalism and our uniquely extensive network of data acquisition, validation and analysis enables us to offer information of unparalleled quality on which our customers can base difficult business decisions with confidence,” continues Liontou.
Experienced data analysts keep the Lloyd’s List Intelligence service dynamic by registering continuous updates in vessel ownership, totalling 500,000 annual updates, and detailing 7 levels of ownership. Changes to name and registry information total over 50,000 a year and our comprehensive and timely coverage of vessel characteristics, such as dimensions and engines, delivers over 2 million amendments per annum.
Subscriptions to Lloyd’s List Intelligence are structured around key market areas or channels, comprising: Tankers, Gas, Dry Bulk, Insurance and Law & Regulation. Customers are able to pay for in-depth access to the specialist industry sectors they require, whilst maintaining a top down view of every subject covered by Lloyd’s List Intelligence. This inbuilt flexibility means that customers always have access to every aspect of the shipping world whilst only paying for intelligence they use.
Each sector has a team of dedicated experts and a senior channel editor who oversees both the content and data to ensure its accuracy and integrity. All channels are available as stand-alone subscriptions or in tailored packages.
One of the unique features of Lloyd’s List Intelligence is its ‘Ask the Analyst’ service. Users are given the opportunity to ask Lloyd’s List Intelligence analysts to conduct investigations, analyse trends, evaluate demand, make forecasts, or simply get advice on the best way to use Lloyd’s List Intelligence in this one-of-a-kind service designed to help businesses prosper and reach new levels of excellence.
“Our vision in designing Lloyd’s List Intelligence is to be our customer’s first port of call for practical market intelligence, the first place they seek the tools that support their decisions, and the most reliable and technically advanced on-line information service within the global maritime community,” explains Andrew Cooney, Commercial Director, Lloyd’s List Intelligence.
“Our market intelligence lets users track and trace the world’s merchant fleet and provides instant access to vessel characteristics, ship movements, company details, land based and satellite AIS positioning and a global casualty service,” continues Cooney. “Commercial research on companies operating within the marine, energy, commodities and transportation markets is provided with a comprehensive credit reporting service.”
“We have a global presence with offices in 7 countries and our team is made up of 60 regional, market and technical experts from around the world who are motivated by a common goal – to provide the best quality independent information and advice,” adds Cooney.
Back in the beginning, 275 years ago in a coffee shop in the City of London, the writing was literally on the wall, for shipowners and investors and all to see in the most immediate way possible. Lloyd’s List is returning that immediacy to Lloyd’s List Intelligence, with stronger, more defined newsgathering ethos, more analysis and unrivalled online delivery.
“Lloyd’s List Intelligence is the optimum choice for business information in the global maritime and trade communities. We provide the information and tools that our industry needs by turning news and data into market intelligence, which directly supports our customers’ business decisions,” says Liontou. “Put simply, it’s the most comprehensive, reliable and interactive service available.”
