Maritime London announces Chief Executive succession

Jos Standerwick, Chief Executive of UK professional business services body Maritime London, has moved to a new role as Head of Membership at the Baltic Exchange as part of a pre-agreed succession strategy. Over the next six months, Jos will continue to provide consultancy services to Maritime London, with the full support of the Maritime London Directors to ensure that Maritime London’s activities and services remain unaffected.



In the meantime, the recruitment process for a new Chief Executive at Maritime London is underway. 



“Jos joined Maritime London in 2017 and has helped navigate the organisation through an unprecedented period of regulatory and geopolitical change,” said Maritime London Chair Harry Theochari. “Jos has been an exceptional and highly respected CEO and the Directors and all at Maritime London are tremendously grateful for all that he has done during his time as CEO. We all look forward to continuing to work with Jos in his new role at the Baltic and wish him every success for the future.”



"We are delighted to welcome Jos to the Baltic Exchange team as our new Head of Membership,” said Baltic Exchange Chief Executive Mark Jackson. “Jos's extensive background, knowledge of key maritime trends, and vital shipping network will be a huge asset to the Baltic and our entire global membership. His appointment is a clear example of how Baltic Exchange is continuing to support its broad and global membership with a commitment to integrity, transparency and excellence."



In addition to his new role at the Baltic Exchange, Jos is a Council Member of the Baltic Exchange, Chair of the London International Shipping Week Steering Group and a Trustee of the Maritime London Officer Cadet Scholarship.
