Sinopsis

Lloyd’s MIU (formerly Lloyd’s Marine Intelligence Unit) is the leader in global maritime information and a member of the publicly quoted Informa plc, which has a 300-year-old history in providing information to the maritime world. Lloyd’s MIU data is published online (www.lloydsmiu.com), in hardback (publications include the market-leading Lloyd’s Maritime Directory, Lloyd’s List Ports of the World, and Containerisation International Yearbook), on CD (The Lloyd’s Shipping Information Database), in bespoke reports (including in-depth consultancy, investigations, and credit reports), and in magazines (such as Lloyd’s Shipping Economist). Sister companies within Informa publish the world-renowned Lloyd’s List and a host of other titles. The Informa group is also a major events and training organizer in the maritime sector.
 

The Web site www.lloydsmiu.com is unlike any other online maritime information database and remains the only integrated Web site in the market today that provides detailed and up-to-date vessel data (movements, ownership, characteristics, and casualties), port information, and in-depth company information (credit reports). The site incorporates the world’s largest Automatic Identifi cation System (AIS) vessel tracking network (reports on millions of daily vessel movements are uniquely corroborated by visual reports from thousands of exclusive contacts around the globe). The site, which also hosts the world’s biggest dedicated marine/energy credit report database, is underpinned by the shipping information database (SID), which contains details of over 120,000 vessels, 163,000 shipping companies, and comprehensive information on all of the world’s commercially active ports. Lloyd’s MIU has a global presence—its principal offi ces are located in the United Kingdom (London, Colchester, and Oxford), United States (New York), and Singapore. In addition, Lloyd’s MIU directly employs expert shipping analysts and researchers in Athens, Barcelona, Mumbai, and Vancouver. Information is sought from a multitude of sources, including the Lloyd’s Agency Network of 700 agents and subagents for vessel movements data, the leading registries and classifi cation societies for vessel characteristics, and the major company registries around the globe for corporate data. Lloyd’s MIU also comprises a highly experienced team of consultants, investigators, analysts, researchers, marketers, and information technology (IT) specialists offering comprehensive bespoke commercial maritime intelligence services and effective business solutions.
 

In addition to providing the commercial and business investigative and analytical services discussed earlier, Lloyd’s MIU has in-depth experience in gathering and collating shipping data to assist government and commercial-sector clients in enhancing Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) as part of their national and international Maritime Security Operations (MSO) and initiatives. In addition to data provision for MDA, Lloyd’s MIU also provides discrete consulting services and software packages to clients for the intelligence-related and risk-assessment aspects of MSO.
