Revamp of Imarex website

Here are some of the key changes for you to review:

The main page:

We have started publishing the closing prices of front-month contracts (the nearest listed futures contract) for the most liquid products listed at Imarex.

In addition we have linked some of the key sectors of the site directly to the main page:

These include:

• Trading Statistics
• Investor Relations
• Membership enquiry
• Job opportunities
• Trading Calendar 2006 

Reorganised main topics:

• The Exchange - explains about the nature of the International Maritime Exchange, our strategy, who our members are, regulatory compliance and how to become a member of Imarex. 

• Freight derivatives - Introduces the exciting freight futures and options market and shows you the key benefits of cleared screen trading as well as specific detail on each listed contract.

• Bunker derivatives - the new bunker fuel oil derivatives market at Imarex is really taking off. Here you can learn about the market, contracts listed, how they are settled and much more.

• NOS clearing - a step-by-step guide to the clearing services of NOS (the Norwegian Futures and Options Clearing House) including, what clearing is, how NOS is organised, its capital collateral, how margins are set and how Imarex and NOS are working for a level playing field in maritime derivatives.

• Information products - Imarex info products are the essential toolkit for all freight market participants. Here you can now read about and order trial and full subscriptions to all our information services. Please note, that some of our prices have changed for 2006.
