About Lloyd's Register
Lloyd's Register owes its name to Edward Lloyd's 17th century
London coffee house. Some other
organisations also started there, like the entirely separate
Lloyd's of London international insurance market.Edward Lloyd
helped his shipping industry clientele to exchange information by
printing a sheet of all the
news he heard. In 1760, the Register Society was formed by the
coffee house customers and it printed the
first Register of Ships in 1764 to give underwriters and
merchants an idea of the condition of the vessels
they insured and chartered. In 1834, the organisation was
reconstituted as Lloyd's Register of British and
Foreign Shipping and the first classification Rules were
published. In 1852, the organisation opened its first
overseas office, in Canada, and other offices followed around
the world. In the 1900s we began to apply our
expertise developed in the marine industry to other industrial
sectors resulting in today's wide ranging
services. Our aim is to be the independent third party of choice
helping to make the world a safer and more
secure place. Because life matters. For more information, please
