Automate the Client Portal with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

• Surveys due in the next 90 days, every ship in the fleet

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 7:00

  Step 1

  For each IMO number in your fleet, get the ship's survey schedule.

  Step 2

  Keep the surveys with a due date in the next 90 days.

  Step 3

  Email you the list, one section per ship, soonest first.

• Survey requests with a new surveyor or status

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 9:00

  Step 1

  Check your survey requests in My Queries.

  Step 2

  Keep the requests whose status or surveyor changed since the last run.

  Step 3

  Post each one, with ship, scope, location and surveyor's contact details, to your webhook.

• Certificate changes, posted to your fleet management system

  Build this

  Starts

  Every day at 18:00

  Step 1

  For each IMO number in your fleet, list the ship's certificates.

  Step 2

  Keep the certificates that are new or changed since the last run, and stop when there are none.

  Step 3

  Post ship, IMO number, certificate, issue date and expiry date to your webhook.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get a ship's survey schedule” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "classdirect.lr.org/get_survey_schedule",
    "input": {
      "imo_number": "9400000"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "ship_name": "Northwind Star",
    "imo_number": "9400000",
    "surveys": [
      {
        "survey": "Annual Survey, Hull",
        "due_date": "2027-01-14",
        "status": "Due",
        "tasks": [
          "Hull annual examination"
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

The Client Portal’s own options

Lloyd's Register documents no API for clients. The Client Portal shows your fleet by its IMO client code, lets you raise survey requests and technical queries, and exports fleet lists, certificates, survey schedules and survey status reports. Email notifications cover only the ships in your favourites.

Read on November 12, 2026: Client Portal and its FAQ, Exhibition of Records, Client Portal registration.

Signing in to the Client Portal

The Client Portal signs you in with the email address and password you created when you registered, on Lloyd's Register's own sign-in page. With Fous you sign in once through that page with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, code and AI agents never see it, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Your fleet follows your IMO client code

The ships you see are mapped from the IMO client code on your account, and your organisation can ask LR to limit an account to a smaller sub-fleet. A method sees the same ships your account does.

Survey requests are processed in 2 working days

LR processes a Survey Request within the next 2 working days and sends an acknowledgement email. Work needed within 2 working days goes through LR's urgent survey request line.

Notifications only cover favourites

The portal's email notifications are sent only for ships in your favourites list. A scheduled workflow can read every ship you list, favourite or not.

Regular Users and Superusers

Regular Users view the fleet and raise survey requests and technical queries. Superusers can also see the company's portal users, add users and deactivate them in Account Management.
