Baltic Exchange’s proud relationship with the RNLI dates back to the mid-1800s, when it sponsored one of the very first lifeboats. Since 1962, the Baltic has shared a special connection with RNLI Salcombe, helping to fund three All Weather Lifeboats that have saved countless lives along the Devon coastline.

Now, that legacy continues. In 2027, Salcombe Lifeboat Station will welcome a new Shannon-class lifeboat - the RNLI’s most advanced design yet, capable of operating closer inshore and in the most challenging conditions.

The Baltic is once again helping to fund this vital vessel and invites members and supporters to contribute to the RNLI Salcombe Lifeboat Appeal. Every donation, large or small, will help ensure that volunteer crews can continue their lifesaving work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Make a donation here and be part of this enduring maritime legacy.
