The Baltic is the quarterly journal of the Baltic Exchange in London, the world's leading shipbroking representative body. The Baltic Exchange's members fix half the world's wet cargoes annually and over a third of the world dry cargoes. Its indices are key indicators of the health of the global shipping industry. Few institutions in shipping are more in tune with what is going on in the maritime sector than the Baltic Exchange. This is reflected in the quality of its journal. The Baltic magazine and its supplements have a reputation for accessible and reliable editorial, provided by some of shipping's most respected executives, columnists and journalists. The Baltic is a window to what is really going on in shipping.
