Lloyd’s List Intelligence is the market leader in assessing risk in the maritime sector. Our innovative Portfolio Review Service (PRS) has been developed to complement our flagship Credit Reports by reviewing your whole portfolio, company by company. Its wider perspective can be used to help you identify hidden risks and seize opportunities.
The PRS is conducted by expert analysts and data is sourced from some of the most extensive resources available, including the world’s largest databank of marine company credit reports. With a wealth of maritime intelligence at our fingertips, you can be confident that we’re working with the best information available.
Who will benefit?
Risk managers in the maritime sector frequently face a lack of information about their counterparties and are regularly reading our Credit Reports to help fill in the gaps.
However, when portfolios comprise of many subjects there is a need to manually collate risk ratings and credit advice and much of the value added can be lost in the detail.
The PRS complements our Credit Reports by offering a simple and effective way to identify risk and over exposures for an entire portfolio. Oil companies, investment houses and marine fuel suppliers, have all benefited from using PRS.
