April 27 (LNGJ) - Newly appointed Baltic Exchange Chief Executive Mark Jackson has set out the London-based Exchange’s vision of the near future during a speech at a shipping conference in Singapore. One of its plans was to enter the LNG and container indices markets. “The recent acquisition of the Baltic Exchange by the Singapore Exchange has reinvigorated this key international maritime institution, allowing us to grow our leadership profile and play a bigger role than ever before in setting standards, building consensus and leading change in the shipping markets,” said Jackson. “These are bold plans and will ensure that the Baltic Exchange remains at the heart of the bulk shipping industry for the long-term. In 2017 we will be providing more freight market benchmarks and move into the LNG and container spaces,” added the CEO.
