Based in London, England, the Baltic Exchange serves as a global hub for shipping interests, including shipowners, charterers, and shipbrokers, who handle a large share of the world's dry cargo and tanker fixtures as well as related freight derivatives and vessel sales. The organization provides a trusted data platform that supports the settlement of physical and derivative freight contracts and underpins risk-management tools used across the shipping and transportation markets. 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. In 2026 the exchange launched the Baltic New Entrants Market Exam to support ongoing professional development within its membership.
