Experts take seats on Baltic Exchange Council
The Baltic Exchange has appointed three new members to the Baltic Exchange Council (BEC), the governing body which oversees the Baltic's strategy for membership services and relationships.
Baltic Exchange members Guy Hindley (Howe Robinson), Denis Petropoulos (Braemar Shipping Services) and Andy James (China Navigation) have joined the council.
Lambros Varnavides and John Hadjipateras have stepped down from the council, although Hadjipateras remains on the Baltic membership council.
Baltic Exchange CEO Mark Jackson said: "I am hugely grateful for both Varnavides and Hadjipateras's contributions, wise counsel and their commitment to the Baltic Exchange. I'm delighted to welcome three experienced new members to the council and am sure that they will support the continued development and growth of the Baltic Exchange." (mw)
