Lloyd’s List Intelligence partners with SynMax to boost satellite-based maritime intelligence

AI-enhanced behavioural analysis and ship tracking deliver deeper insight and certainty

Lloyd’s List Intelligence announced a new partnership with SynMax Intelligence, a specialist in satellite-derived maritime intelligence supported by deep human expertise. The collaboration brings together Lloyd’s List Intelligence’s trusted maritime data and insight with SynMax’s advanced satellite analysis and analyst-led interpretation of vessel behaviour.

The partnership reflects a shared commitment to improving clarity, confidence, and decision-making across maritime risk, compliance, legal, and insurance workflows. By combining authoritative maritime intelligence with SynMax’s blend of technology and human-led analysis, the collaboration aims to support customers navigating increasingly complex challenges such as dark activity, spoofing, and high-stakes incident investigations.

In addition to satellite-derived insights, SynMax’s approach integrates experienced analysts who contextualise imagery and behavioural data, ensuring outputs are accurate, defensible, and operationally relevant. Together, the two organisations will also collaborate on joint content initiatives, thought leadership, and industry education to address evolving regulatory and commercial pressures.

“Through our partnership with SynMax, Lloyd’s List Intelligence customers can now gain access to Satellite Intelligence Reports that go well beyond traditional imagery. By directly linking satellite data to individual vessels, this ensures that customers have deeper visibility, stronger evidence, and greater confidence when investigating incidents or uncovering increasingly complex and deceptive shipping practices. We’ve valued working with SynMax’s expert team and are excited to make this powerful new capability available to our customers through Seasearcher,” – Nicky Marlin, Chief Product Officer, Lloyd’s List Intelligence

“This partnership combines the decades of expertise and respected authority of Lloyds List Intelligence with the AI innovation and sensor capabilities of SynMax into an offering that has never existed before. Together, we are expanding what maritime intelligence can be, giving our customers deeper insight, stronger validation, and greater confidence in the increasingly opaque and complex maritime domain.” – Eric Anderson, CEO SynMax

The partnership underscores Lloyd’s List Intelligence’s ongoing investment in innovation and trusted third-party collaboration, ensuring customers benefit from credible, expert-driven intelligence that aligns with real-world maritime use cases.
