The Baltic Exchange is the world's leading source of independent maritime market data. Our information is used by shipbrokers, owners & operators, traders, financiers and charterers as a reliable and independent view of the dry bulk, tanker, gas, container and air freight markets.

Our indices and assessments are used as a settlement tool for freight derivative trades, for benchmarking physical contracts and as a general indicator of the freight markets’ performance. We also provide services such as escrow, dispute resolution, networking opportunities and education.

Our international community of over 3000 commits to a code of business conduct - the Baltic Code - summed up by the motto “our word our bond.”
