The Baltic Exchange’s CEO Mark Jackson presented a cheque for £79,000 to RNLI Salcombe during their biennial visit to London for a lunch at The Worshipful Company of Bakers, Bakers Hall. The Baltic Exchange has a proud history of supporting lifeboats. Salcombe is one of 238 lifeboat stations dotted around the UK and Ireland and depends on donations to maintain its rescue service. Our members have provided financial support to lifeboats at Salcombe for more than 150 years.

Joining the lunch were representatives from the Baltic Exchange, Baltic members and crew members of RLNI Salcombe.

In Salcombe, the 25 kt Tamar Class All Weather Lifeboat The Baltic Exchange III has saved countless lives since its launch in 2008. The boat recently had an extensive refit and returned to service in March 2021. Baltic members raised over half a million pounds towards this vessel.
