Lloyd’s List Intelligence launches Vessel Due Diligence

Lloyd's List Intelligence announces the launch of Vessel Due Diligence, a purpose-built operational decision workbench for marine underwriters and vessel vetters, delivered as an add-on module to Seasearcher, the leading maritime intelligence platform.

Vessel Due Diligence addresses one of the most persistent inefficiencies in marine insurance and vessel vetting - the manual, fragmented process of stitching together vessel risk data across multiple sources before making a decision. Marine underwriters and vessel vetters are currently losing 2-4 hours every week to this process, checking vessels one by one, interpreting complex reports, and still reaching decisions without full confidence.

Vessel Due Diligence consolidates critical risk signals - including dry dock status, machinery condition, inspections, and port call history - into a single trusted operational view, enabling faster, more consistent, and defensible decision-making at scale.

Rather than requiring users to navigate multiple platforms or piece together fragmented data, Vessel Due Diligence brings the full risk picture into one operational platform - combining critical checks with fast, decision-ready insight built for how underwriters and vetters actually work. This is underpinned by the solution’s key capabilities:

Key capabilities include:

• A consolidated operational screening panel bringing together incidents, inspections, deficiencies, seizures, arrests, Class and P&I information in one location.
• Exclusive dry dock visibility to identify vessels that may present heightened operational risk.
• Multi-vessel screening and historic port call analysis to accelerate fleet-level assessments.
• Hull risk indicators and behavioral intelligence to help identify operational concerns that may not be apparent through compliance screening alone.
• Audit-ready decision support designed to improve consistency and defensibility 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. We built it to mirror how underwriters and vetters actually work, so they can make faster, more defensible calls at scale,” says Nicola Marlin, Chief Product Officer, Lloyd's List Intelligence.
