Human Intel

Maritime Intelligence Unit

From shadow fleet activity to chokepoint disruption, our analysts connect the signals that matter and explain what they mean for your organisation.

Human-validated intelligence for a changing maritime world

The Maritime Intelligence Unit (MIU) brings together Lloyd’s List Intelligence’s proprietary maritime data, analytical capabilities and specialist expertise to help organisations make clearer, faster and more confident decisions.

Authoritative expertise, at your fingertips

Where data and human expertise converge

Maritime activity is becoming more complex, disrupted and closely scrutinised. Vessel movements alone do not provide the full picture. You need to understand the companies, trade flows, behaviours and geopolitical events behind them.

The MIU brings these signals together.

Every intelligence assessment is reviewed by Lloyd’s List Intelligence analysts and subject matter experts.

Our technology helps identify signals and patterns across vast maritime datasets. Our experts validate those signals, map out industry context, assess their significance, and apply their expertise to map out future scenarios.
