Its offerings include daily benchmarks for dry, wet, container, and gas freight markets, as well as operating expenses, S&P assessments, ship recycling and forward assessments, and air cargo assessments, along with escrow and dispute-resolution support and training through the Baltic Academy. Regulated by the UK's Financial Conduct Authority under the EU Benchmark Regulation, the Baltic Exchange has a long history dating back to 1744 and operates from its London headquarters with a network of regional offices; it has been part of Singapore Exchange since 2016. With a global footprint that includes offices in Singapore, Shanghai, Athens, Stamford, and Houston, the Baltic Exchange positions itself as a central platform for market data and professional development in maritime trade.
