AT TIMES like these, the well-being of our subscribers, staff and their families is at the forefront of our minds.

No doubt you have been receiving a number of communications from businesses in the past few days, but with the situation around the spread of coronavirus changing rapidly, the Lloyd’s List team would like to keep you informed about the steps we are taking to ensure that you continue to receive the best possible service.

As an information provider in these extraordinary times for the shipping industry, we recognise the importance of ensuring you are kept up to date with the very latest data, insight and analysis for your operations. 

Therefore, while we have taken steps to ensure the safety of our staff by closing our offices and working from home, it does not mean we are not in regular communication with each other or indeed the leading industry figures and key influencers that make up this exceptional industry.

Over the coming weeks, we will be introducing new content in co-ordination with our colleagues at Lloyd’s List Intelligence, Lloyd’s List Consulting and Insurance Day to ensure you have the inside track on the industry response to this crisis.

In lieu of in-person events, our digital portfolio will also expand and more details will be forthcoming on these developments soon.

In the meantime, as ever the Lloyd’s List editorial team is available should you wish to reach out with your news, views, opinions or business updates and their contact details can be found in the Meet the Team section of the Lloyd’s List website. You will find me at: richard.meade@informa.com and @Lloydslisted. 

We hope you stay safe and well.

Regards,

Richard Meade, Managing Editor
