SINCE its birth in Edward Lloyd’s London coffee shop in 1734, Lloyd’s List has been informing and guiding the thinking of business leaders and decision-makers the world over. Two and a half centuries later, the culture that spawned the provision of expert, authoritative coverage of the global shipping markets is as strong as ever.
But Lloyd’s List is not solely about shipping. On this internet site and in the pages of our daily newspaper you will also find in-depth coverage of marine insurance, offshore energy, logistics, global trade and law.
Our writers generate an unrivalled daily source of news and comment, acting not just as the voice of the shipping industry but sometimes its conscience too. A dedicated newsroom and staff in London are mirrored by a network of correspondents sited strategically in the world’s crucial shipping centres, ensuring that our coverage is up-the-minute as well as global.
In addition to five daily editions a week and web presence, Lloyd’s List produces hundreds of supplements and special reports every year targeted at specific markets in the maritime sector and related industries. It publishes the industry’s first and best shipmanagement magazine, LSM and Maritime Asia, written and produced in the local market.
Lloyd’s List is the flagship of the Maritime and Transport division of London-listed Informa plc, a leading international provider of specialist information services to the professional, commercial, academic and scientific business communities.
