Join us for the 9th OSCAR Dragon Boat Race on Friday, September 13th, 2024!

On our third consecutive race, the Baltic Exchange is excited to enter again this year with two teams, gearing up for a hotly contested competition!

We would incredibly appreciate your support for the OSCAR Campaign, which raised over £2.5 million for Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (GOSH). We’re aiming to raise a total of £10,000 and your contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to making a difference.

The Campaign is named after Oscar Parry, son of Spinnaker Chairman Phil Parry. Oscar had two different types of leukemia. Experimental treatments saved his life. He had two bone marrow transplants, the first ever childhood stem cell transplant in the UK, over 100 blood transfusions, five brain hemorrhages, and five years of chemotherapy.

Thanks to the pioneering work of the bone marrow transplant team at GOSH, Oscar is now 24 and the shipping community is saving the lives of other children by supporting more and more new treatments for children with previously incurable diseases.

The Baltic Exchange represents a global community of shipping interests with almost 5000 members. These include shipowners, charterers and shipbrokers who are collectively responsible for handling a large proportion of the world’s dry cargo and tanker fixtures, freight derivative trades as well as the sale and purchase of merchant vessels. Regulated by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). It is the trusted provider of data for the settlement of physical and derivative freight contracts, underpinning risk management tools for the shipping and transportation markets.
