The Baltic Exchange (incorporated as The Baltic Exchange Limited) is a British financial services company and membership organisation for the maritime industry, and freight market information provider for the trading and settlement of chartering and derivative contracts.
Situated since Edwardian times at 24-28 St Mary Axe in the City of London, the building was destroyed by a bomb in 1992. Its headquarters are now at 77 Leadenhall Street, with further offices in Europe, across Asia, and in the United States.
Its international community of 650 member companies encompasses the majority of world shipping interests and commits to a code of business conduct overseen by the Baltic Exchange: its members are responsible for a large proportion of all dry cargo and tanker fixtures as well as the sale and purchase of merchant vessels.
