The London International Shipping Week is a great opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the industry’s major players, and catch up with colleagues old and new.

And what better way to cement those bonds than a bit of healthy water-bourne competition.

The fourth annual OSCAR (Ocean and Shipping Community Advancing Children's Health and Research) dragon boat race on 15 September in Docklands will be a chance for you and your team to kick back and network at the end of what is shaping up to be a busy week.
