Baltic Exchange celebrated 40 years of index production with a reception held on the 40th floor of the Gherkin, a venue rich with historical meaning for the organisation. The Gherkin stands on the original site of Baltic Exchange’s former home at St Mary Axe, symbolising resilience, renewal, and the enduring role of the Baltic at the heart of global maritime markets.
