Baltic Exchange names new chairman

Guy Hindley has been appointed as the new chairman of the Baltic Exchange Council.

Hindley takes over on January 1 from Lord Jeffrey Mountevans, who has held the position for the past two years. 

Hindley has been on the Baltic Exchange Council since January 2019 and is the managing partner of the dry cargo division at shipbroker Howe Robinson, where he has spent nearly four decades. 

“His deep-rooted experience in maritime and shipbroking is set to support the Baltic Exchange’s mission to advance shipping standards and services globally,” the London-based organisation said in a release. 

Commenting on his appointment, Hindley noted, “The Baltic Exchange has always been at the heart of the global maritime community. I look forward to working closely with its members to ensure that Baltic Exchange continues to lead the way in providing trusted data and services that support the maritime industry during this critical time of transformation.”
