Baltic Exchange and Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers Lectures
Baltic Exchange and Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers
Lectures for 2022
For the fifth year the Baltic Exchange and Institute of
Chartered Shipbrokers present a series of lectures intended to
support and develop those working in chartering and operations.
Taking place every other month, lectures are free to employees
at Baltic and ICS members and company members.
The series is aimed at supporting those developing careers in
shipping and encouraging better advocacy across a future generation
of industry leaders and is supported by all the major broking
houses and a wide cross-section of principals.
Baltic Exchange and Institute of Chartered
Shipbrokers lectures restart in June 2022 with a new format to
benefit all our Members
worldwide.
We are incredibly proud that this series has now reached the
fifth cycle and both organisations were keen to continue with this
project as we see the interest of hundreds of members for each of
our dates.
We are also thrilled to report that in some locations, the local
maritime groups of young shipping professionals have offered their
support to our series, and are excited to sign up selected groups
of their own members. This curiosity from groups of younger
maritime people shows us the usefulness of these lectures, as long
as we ensure we protect these as part of our benefits to
members.
Do you have local maritime groups that might want to be part of
promoting these lectures, and in exchange be able to register a
limited group of their members and employers to attend?
Please see below the dates and topics that we are willing to
arrange for our members.
More details will follow in due course.

Chartering Technology; Pros and Cons
For the last couple of years, we had to move our events online.
We received good feedback and therefore we are confident that the
webinar formula will still constitute a viable alternative.
Equally, we are eager to resume our traditional face-to-face
sessions where possible. We will consider the 'hybrid' format too
on a case by case basis.
We are delighted to offer to all our Members
worldwide the opportunity to join our topical webinars with
world established speakers live on the day, and to access
the recorded sessions at a later stage.
We look forward to welcoming you at the next lecture.
