Lloyd’s List Intelligence has launched Vessel Due Diligence, a new operational screening tool designed to help marine underwriters and vessel vetters assess vessel risk more efficiently.
The solution is available as an add-on to the company’s Seasearcher maritime intelligence platform.
The new platform combines operational risk data into a single interface. It aims to replace the manual process of collecting information from multiple sources before making underwriting and vetting decisions.
According to Lloyd’s List Intelligence, marine underwriters and vessel vetters typically spend two to four hours each week reviewing vessel data across different systems.
Vessel Due Diligence brings together information on incidents, inspections, deficiencies, detentions, seizures, arrests, classification status and P&I cover. It also includes dry dock records, machinery condition, historic port calls and hull risk indicators.
The platform supports both individual vessel reviews and fleet-wide screening. It also provides audit-ready decision support to help improve consistency across underwriting and vetting teams.
“Vessel Due Diligence marks a real shift for our underwriting and vetting customers—from fragmented data to genuine decision-making support,” said Nicola Marlin, Chief Product Officer at Lloyd’s List Intelligence.
“We built it to mirror how underwriters and vetters actually work, so they can make faster, more defensible calls at scale,” she added.
Lloyd’s List Intelligence said the new product combines proprietary AIS data, maritime analytics and operational intelligence to help shipping, insurance and finance professionals make faster and more informed decisions.
