Teresa Lloyd had been at the helm of Maritime Industry Australia Limited for nearly two decades, taking on important issues in the maritime industry and helping Australian businesses become players in global shipping. Ms Lloyd led MIAL with conviction, advocating for improvements in maritime policy that would encourage growth and regeneration of an Australian maritime industry.

Ms Lloyd has also been a great advocate for training of Australian seafarers, calling attention to the lack of opportunities to train and work in the industry and supporting initiatives that address such issues.
Prior to her tenure at MIAL, Ms Lloyd studied naval architecture at AMC, where she was a role model for other young maritime professionals.

She held various roles in the Australian maritime industry before joining MIAL’s predecessor in 2003. In that role, Ms Lloyd was the Australian shipowner (employer) representative at the UN International Labour Organization during the MLC adoption. She also chaired the International Chamber of Shipping Environment Sub-Committee from 2006 through 2013.
