Lloyd’s List Intelligence, a maritime data and analytics company providing intelligence on global shipping activity, trade, and risk, will assume management of the Lloyd’s Agency Network from 1 April 2026, bringing the global marine surveying and claims adjusting network into its operating structure.
The move places stewardship of casualty data and port-level intelligence directly under LLI. Control over first-hand loss reporting and survey insight strengthens validation processes and speeds analytical turnaround for insurers and maritime operators.
According to Beinsure analysts, tighter integration between field reporting and analytics reduces dispute cycles in complex casualty events.
LLI will operate the network under the Lloyd’s Agents brand, maintaining continuity with Lloyd’s. Agents will continue to function as local experts, while LLI provides governance structure, commercial coordination and technology support. Lloyd’s will remain engaged in supporting the broader market framework.
Integration links the Agency Network with LLI’s data infrastructure, analytics stack and AIS capabilities. The combined platform expands coverage in sensitive and high-risk regions and enables cross-verification of maritime events, including AIS anomalies.
Real-time data streams meet on-the-ground validation. That pairing improves uptime and network reliability across global intelligence services.
Parvin Conners, Chief Data Officer at Lloyd’s List Intelligence, said maritime risk increasingly emerges between data points. Integrating vessel tracking and casualty datasets with human verification enhances accuracy and timeliness, especially in disputed incidents and volatile regions where raw signals lack context.
Conners added that LLI already applies a similar model through its terrestrial AIS network. Long-standing partnerships with Lloyd’s Agents in major ports support approximately 95% AIS uptime, with agents hosting infrastructure and extending coverage through local networks.
Bringing the Lloyd’s Agency Network into Lloyd’s List Intelligence allows us to combine high-frequency vessel and casualty data with trusted human verification where events unfold.

“That depth of insight improves the accuracy, timeliness and credibility of the intelligence our customers rely on – particularly in complex incidents, disputed events and high-risk regions where data alone requires human insight to provide full context,” Parvin Conners says.
Dawn Miller, Chief Commercial Officer of Lloyd’s and CEO of Lloyd’s Americas, said closer integration gives agents access to deeper datasets and broader commercial reach while maintaining the standards associated with the Lloyd’s network.
Closer integration with Lloyd’s List Intelligence will give Lloyd’s Agents access to richer data and broader market opportunities, strengthening the Lloyd’s market while preserving the high standards and professionalism that define the network.

Waqas Samad, Chief Executive Officer of Lloyd’s List Intelligence, described the transaction as part of a long-term strategy to build a resilient intelligence platform serving maritime, insurance and trade finance sectors.
Integrating portside expertise with analytics capacity creates structural continuity while preserving agent independence and professional standards.
Lloyd’s List Intelligence combines real-time vessel tracking, ownership data, and regulatory information to support decision-making in shipping, finance, and insurance sectors.
Lloyd’s List Intelligence originated from Lloyd’s List, one of the world’s oldest continuously published maritime newspapers (established in 1734). The intelligence division was formed to digitize and enhance maritime data collection, combining historical shipping expertise with modern analytics. It evolved into a standalone data service supporting clients beyond traditional maritime circles.
