What is Ask the Analyst?

Ask the Analyst is a new service that has been developed alongside Lloyd’s List Intelligence to give you time-based access to our team of over 60 global analysts, enabling you to query our data, clarify findings and explore our information in more detail.

Who is entitled to Ask the Analyst?

Every Lloyd's List Intelligence channel entitles the subscriber to ask-the-anayst. Questions should not exceed 3 hours of analyst time at any one time.

How quickly will someone come back to me?

We attempt to respond to all queries within 24 hours. We will make an initial assessment of the length of time your query will take to complete and then contact you accordingly. Lloyd’s List Intelligence analysts generally work UK office hours (9am – 5.30pm Mon – Fri). However, depending upon the urgency of the request we can call upon our global network of analysts to answer queries outside of these times.

What kind of questions can I ask?

Ask the Analyst hours can be used for anything related to the maritime services to which you subscribe. We have provided a number of sample questions which provide an example of the types of questions which we would expect to answer as part of this service. If you would like us to undertake more substantial projects you can either purchase more analyst hours or it might be better suited to our investigations or consultancy business.

Can I phone in my question?

Unfortunately due to the nature and volume of requests we are unable to take Ask the Analyst requests via telephone at this time. Please use the query form available here .If an analyst needs to discuss your query then they will contact you either by phone or email.

How many analysts do you have? Who are they?

Each of our channels has a team of dedicated experts, led by a principle channel editor who ensures the accuracy and integrity of both the content and data. In all we have over 60 in-house analysts specialising in sectors, companies, markets or very specific data sets.
