The Baltic Exchange and leading global maritime counterparty risk analysis company Infospectrum, today (24 October 2018) announced a collaboration that will see Infospectrum become the Baltic Exchange’s exclusive counterparty intelligence provider.

It will also provide Baltic Exchange members with a means of sourcing business/company information, counterparty intelligence and credit reporting/credit ratings on their business partners.
Members will be encouraged to draw upon Infospectrum’s market intelligence developed by its global team of risk analysts and consultants in the UK, the US, Singapore, Australia and Colombia. Information will also be used to support the Baltic Exchange’s dispute resolution service,reducing time and costs allocated to this complex area.
