About us

Lloyd’s MIU is the leader in global maritime information and a member of the publicly quoted Informa Plc, and 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 via magazines (such as Lloyd’s Shipping Economist). Sister companies within Informa publish Lloyd’s List and a host of other titles. The Informa group is also a major events and training organiser in the maritime sector.

www.lloydsmiu.com is unlike any other online maritime information database: it is the ONLY integrated website in the market today which gives you detailed and up-to-date vessel data (movements, ownership, characteristics and casualties), port information AND in-depth company information (credit reports). www.lloydsmiu.com incorporates the world’s largest AIS tracking network (reports on millions of daily vessel movements are uniquely corroborated by visual intelligence from thousands of exclusive contacts around the globe). The site also hosts the world’s biggest dedicated marine/energy credit report database. The statistics speak for themselves: over 120,000 vessels, 163,000 shipping companies and 13,500 credit reports accessible online 24 hours a day.

Lloyd’s MIU has a global presence: its principal offices are located in the UK (London, Colchester and Oxford), US (New York) and Singapore. In addition, Lloyd’s MIU directly employs expert 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 sub-agents for vessel movements data, the leading registries and classification societies for vessel characteristics, and from the major company registries around the globe for corporate data.
