We are delighted to announce our collaboration with the Baltic Exchange as their exclusive counterparty intelligence provider. Here is what the Baltic Exchange had to say:

Back in 2014, no one could have anticipated the worst crisis the offshore industry has ever seen. Investments by oil majors and international and national oil companies were revised and cut globally. But is the worst over for offshore?

Following the success of Infospectrum’s Counterparty Credit Risk Forum in Singapore earlier this year, our London Forum provided attendees with unique insights into the shipping industry and the latest developments shaping it.

Infospectrum’s global team of experts is as dedicated as it is diverse. Read on to get to know Matthew Pickin, Senior Analyst at Infospectrum’s Oxford office, on how he came to be in the shipping industry and what he gets up to for work and play.

Infospectrum has expertise across the globe, thanks to its enthusiastic and dedicated team. This month, we spoke with Ven Loh in Singapore, who shares how he came to join the shipping industry and his varied role at Infospectrum over the 10 years he has been part of our company.

Trust is the intangible glue that binds companies and their customers. It’s the unwritten contract that ensures consumers keep engaging with their suppliers. Without trust, businesses cannot hope to survive.

Sometimes when conducting counterparty risk analysis, it is very easy to overly focus on the micro, the background of the principals, their track record of performance, for example, rather than the global politico-economic situation in which the target operates.

The global Infospectrum team is made up of a diverse range of experts. One of those experts, Rebecca Christiansen, was kind enough to answer our questions and share insights into her varied background and what it’s like working at Infospectrum.

In a global economy that’s being transformed by data, it’s not the players with the most intel that will prosper most but those who best know what to do with it. As a case in point, shipping has long generated an incredible trove of data vital to the global trade of goods. But it’s lacked the expertise in making sense of that knowledge.

Our forums are a crucial aspect of our service to clients. Infospectrum’s annual Counterparty Credit Risk Forum in Singapore was a great success, and we look forward to welcoming attendees to our next event in London in September.
