Stop chasing vessels. Start meeting them

For commercial teams operating in the maritime space — charterers, traders, bunker suppliers, port agents, chandlers, safety equipment providers, and more — the difference between winning and losing an opportunity comes down to timing and intelligence.

Lloyd's List Intelligence gives you the tools to identify the right vessels, understand your total addressable market, screen out high-risk prospects before you commit, and coordinate supply so you're ready when the vessel arrives.

Every step of the journey, in one platform.

“Having access to the right data provides the comprehensive insight we use to make an informed decision and mitigate the risk that an entity in the fleet of an organisation we’re working with is connected to a sanction.”

“For dark activity, previously we would have to seek clarification from the customer and wait for a response. There was a lot of back and forth and often the answers could be incomplete. Now for most cases, we can investigate, obtain the full picture and resolve it ourselves. This makes a really big difference”

Better reach

Know your total addressable market. Seize the opportunities

Most businesses are only reaching a fraction of the vessels they could be serving. Seasearcher gives you detailed fleet composition data, seven levels of ownership information, real-time vessel movements, and port congestion insights – so you can build a complete picture of your market, identify the vessels most likely to need your services, and target them with precision before a competitor does.

Vessel screening

Rule out any risk before you invest a single minute

Not every vessel is worth pursuing. Intricate ownership structures, evolving sanctions lists, and dark fleet activity mean the cost of engaging the wrong counterparty can far outweigh the value of the deal. Our AI-driven lead qualification tools let you screen vessels and owners instantly — colour-coded risk ratings, AIS spoofing flags, sanctions checks, and financial health data — so your sales team only spends time on opportunities that are genuinely worth winning.

Impeccable coordination

You've won the trade. Now make sure your logistics plan is watertight

A missed delivery window is a missed order — and a damaged relationship. Seasearcher's supply coordination tools combine real-time AIS tracking, dynamic ETA updates, and port congestion monitoring so you can anticipate exactly when a vessel will arrive, coordinate logistics accordingly, and keep your customers informed every step of the way.

With data on 13,000+ ports and 62,000+ live vessels, you'll never be caught off guard by a schedule change again.

Unified platform

From prospect to delivery. One platform for the whole journey

Most businesses use separate tools to find leads, screen them, and coordinate delivery. Seasearcher brings all three together — so your commercial, compliance, and operations teams are all working from the same intelligence, in real time. The result is faster decisions, fewer missed opportunities, and a business development process that scales without adding headcount.
