Baltic Exchange 3.1

The assessment of the dry bulk, tanker, and gas markets is conducted based on expert evaluations provided by a global panel of shipbrokers. Baltic information serves as a critical tool for settling freight derivative trades, benchmarking physical contracts, and offering a general indicator of market performance.

Baltic data is recognized for its accuracy and reliability. Daily, seven primary indices are published alongside four timecharter averages and 66 route assessments, including timecharter equivalents for the tanker sector. These assessments encompass all major dry bulk, tanker, and gas segments. Each report is independently compiled by experienced shipbrokers renowned for their market expertise.

The data compilation and publication occur during both European and Asian working hours through our London and Singapore offices, ensuring timely and continuous market insights.
