Lloyd's List Intelligence employs over 200 staff across the globe. These include specialist journalists and 60 market and data analysts who collect and process information from 1,500 sources, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
More than 1,400 locations are covered globally by land based AIS receivers to provide live coverage of over commercial ports and terminals in 132 countries. Over 100 million positions are reported every day from 40,000 unique vessels.
In addition, tracking is enhanced with satellite AIS reports as a result of an agreement with ORBCOMM Inc. Satellite AIS positions are recorded from 1Nm to more than 1,500Nm from shore, providing greater reporting where land based AIS is reduced.

Famous quotes containing the words data and/or sources:
“This city is neither a jungle nor the moon.... In long shot: a cosmic smudge, a conglomerate of bleeding energies. Close up, it is a fairly legible printed circuit, a transistorized labyrinth of beastly tracks, a data bank for asthmatic voice-prints.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“I count him a great man who inhabits a higher sphere of thought, into which other men rise with labor and difficulty; he has but to open his eyes to see things in a true light, and in large relations; whilst they must make painful corrections, and keep a vigilant eye on many sources of error.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
