The Baltic is the world's oldest shipping market. It traces its name to the Virginia and Baltick Coffee House, established in 1744. At this time, it was used mainly by merchants who had a major trade in tallow from the Baltic seaboard. The Baltic Exchange was reorganised into its modern corporate form at the time of the construction of the original Baltic Exchange building in St Mary Axe which opened in 1903. After this building was destroyed by an IRA bomb in 1992, the Baltic Exchange moved into its current headquarters at 38 St Mary Axe. The Baltic developed into the world’s most prestigious and only international, self-regulated market for matching ships and cargoes and buying and selling ships. Although in the light of modern business practice and international communications, a trading floor is no longer necessary, the Baltic's global Members continue to operate as a shipping marketplace and to apply the highest standards of ethics.
