who we are

Since 2002, we have forged a reputation as pioneers and innovators, tirelessly striving to grow and develop markets.

Leader

We are a leading broker & service provider in freight & commodity derivatives. We have enjoyed dominant market share in dry bulk freight (FFAs), iron ore, coking coal, steel and fertilizer derivatives outside China for the last decade. We were named No. 1 bulk commodity broker by the SGX Exchange every year since the award was created.

Pioneer

We pioneered the development of iron ore, FFA options, coking coal, cobalt, lithium and container markets. We were the first broker to arrange deals in the 0.5% Sulphur content fuel contracts on SGX and CME exchanges, as well as the first listed CME fertilizer option trade.

Global

Our offices in the US, UK, EU, UAE, India, Singapore, and China provide a 24-hour global network. We are present in all major markets including SGX, CME, ICE, EEX, and DCE.

OUR FOUNDER

John Banaszkiewicz, commonly known as John B, founded Freight Investor Services (FIS) in 2002, growing the company into one of the world’s leading freight and commodity brokers.

John has shown determination and diligence in building liquidity in the multi-billion-dollar FFA market, attracting clearing services and encouraging dialogue between users and brokers, and is well known in the market. He has used this experience to develop our key freight and commodity markets, and continues to pioneer new innovations.

John was the first chairman of the FFA Brokers Association (FFABA), inaugural chairman of the Iron ore and Steel Derivatives Association and has helped to launch the Independent FFA Association (IFFAA) in 2023, and he serves in his capacity as Director. He can regularly be heard speaking to shipping and financial market conferences worldwide on freight and commodity derivatives. John is an avid philanthropist and has founded and been involved with numerous charities, with Ukraine CARES, as the most recent one.
