IHS Fairplay

In June 2009, IHS acquired Lloyd’s Register-Fairplay. This powerful combination is creating unparalleled capability to deliver critical information and insight to our customers. To reflect the full strength of these combined capabilities, we are changing our name to IHS Fairplay.

IHS Fairplay has a strong foundation for growth to better serve our customers. IHS offers information and expert analysis in pivotal areas shaping today’s business landscape: energy, product lifecycle, environment and security all supported by unsurpassed macroeconomic forecasting. With customers including 80 percent of the Global Fortune 500, annual revenue of nearly US$ 1 billion and more than 4,100 IHS colleagues in 28 countries, IHS provides a strong platform from which we are growing our capabilities and services for customers.
Access to broader analytical and insight capabilities. In addition to the maritime information IHS Fairplay has traditionally provided, we can now partner with IHS Jane’s, IHS Global Insight, IHS CERA, IHS Herold and experts throughout IHS to provide the most in-depth, comprehensive and trusted insight into the critical issues of our day. This suite of expertise represents the most sought after analysis on the global economy, security and defence, energy, the environment, global supply chain and more.
Continued provision of leading critical maritime information and insight. IHS Fairplay continues to be the sole authority for assigning and validating the IMO Ship and Company Numbering Schemes, guaranteeing a level of comprehensiveness in our data that no one else can.
An unwavering commitment to quality. The core competency at IHS is creating critical information and insight that customers require, by transforming data into actionable information. The quality of this data transformation is rigorously assessed against the four dimensions of correctness, currency, completeness and consistency. Vigilance in creating information our customers can trust continues to be an IHS Fairplay mainstay.

As part of IHS, our customers can be assured that IHS Fairplay is better positioned than ever to be the source for maritime information and insight.

In the coming weeks look for our new IHS Fairplay name to appear on our products, website, catalogue, at customer events, and anywhere you’ve seen the Lloyd’s Register - Fairplay brand.
