Singapore: Hundreds thronged to the Raffles Hotel last night for the keenly antipated opening ceremony of the Baltic Exchange's first office in Asia. The office in Singapore will be run by Phil Williams and marks another significant pointer in the Lion Republic's bid to become an international maritime centre. Members of the Singaporean government were on hand for the prestigious occasion. During Sea Asia, the Seatrade co-organised show on this week, a raft of firms have committed to opening up offices in Singapore. [04/03/07]
