The Baltic is running training courses in Freight Derivatives & Shipping Risk Management (London and New York) and Advanced Freight Modelling & Trading (London) during March and April.

The Freight Derivatives & Shipping Risk Management course will take place in London on 7-8 March and 11-12 April in New York.

Participants will learn how to analyse and measure the impact of financial risks involved in shipping investment and operations, and how to select and execute effective strategies to minimise or eliminate such risks, stabilise their cash flow and maximise the return on investment more efficiently.

 The scope of this course is wide and its applications can be useful not only to shipowners, ship-operators, shipmanagers and shipbrokers, but also to those involved in ship finance activities, bunker suppliers, researchers, consultants and shipping funds investors.
 
The Advanced Freight Modelling & Trading course will take place in London on 9-10 March.
 
This course is designed to be taken either as a stand alone by more experienced freight derivative traders or as a follow-on to the Freight Derivatives & Shipping Risk Management course.
 
Participants will come away from the course with a thorough understanding of how to model the physical freight market and use options on freight.
 
The courses will be led by professors from Cass Business School’s Centre for Shipping, Trade & Finance.
