Providing authoritative content for the worldwide shipping community

Lloyd’s List is the leading daily newspaper of the shipping industry, providing authoritative coverage of the global shipping markets since 1734. Its website, www.lloydslist.com, is the leading news portal for the transport and maritime industries. When Lloyd’s List publisher Informa Maritime & Transport decided to provide users with a tool that would connect them with the information most relevant to the shipping industry, it turned to Convera to create:

“Vertical or community search has come into its own in the last year and we feel that we can combine our industry knowledge with Convera’s technical expertise to provide a powerful search tool for the shipping community,” says Mark Warner, Head of Digital Business for Informa Maritime & Transport.

MaritimeAnswers allows users to limit their search to shipping-specific publications, or to scan the entire web. It extends the Lloyd’s List tradition of providing the highest quality and most comprehensive industry information by allowing users greater control over their web experience. Says Patrick Condo, Convera’s president and chief executive officer: “We are delighted to have the opportunity to help a publication with such a great tradition as Lloyd's List to develop online revenues.”
